Fenerbahce is preparing to make a strong start to the summer transfer window, and Jose Mourinho has identified Tottenham stars Son Heung-min and Yves Bissouma as targets.
Head coach Jose Mourinho aims to sign his former player Son and Mali international midfielder Bissouma to his squad. The yellow-navy management has gathered key information about the transfer process through meetings with the players’ representatives.
The South Korean star has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, but he is eager to continue his career in Europe. While Fenerbahce is taking significant steps towards the transfer, clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, Al-Nassr, and Al-Hilal have also expressed interest in the player.
Yves Bissouma, one of Mourinho’s midfield targets, has impressed with his performances in the Premier League, even though he can be inconsistent. Fenerbahce management is assessing the player’s situation, though the financial details of the potential transfer remain unclear.
It is still uncertain what kind of offer Fenerbahce will make for these two stars.
Jose Mourinho is personally involved
Meanwhile, sources close to the situation have informed TheBoyHotspur that Mourinho is expected to hold direct talks to persuade Son, while the club management strategises its approach for the Bissouma transfer.
Tottenham should cash in on the duo
Son is entering the twilight stages of his career, and it would not be a surprise if Tottenham decided to cash in on him. However, he remains one of their best players, and his experience and leadership qualities could be invaluable for the club as they look to rebuild the side. He has been hailed as a “leader” by Ange Postecoglou.
On the other hand, Bissouma has been inconsistent this past season, and this could be the right opportunity for the North London outfit to cash in on him and bring in an upgrade. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
