Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma is expected to leave the north London club before the transfer window closes elsewhere.Â

The Mali international was heavily linked with a move away from Spurs throughout the summer, and a deal was even reportedly agreed with Turkish giants Galatasaray.Â

The midfielder has made 100 appearances in all competitions for the north London club, but he has become surplus to requirements under Thomas Frank, who is desperate to see the back of him.Â

The 29-year-old has not been included in Tottenham's match-day squads so far, further indicating that he would be sold at some point.Â

Bissouma could be off to Turkey or Saudi ArabiaÂ

According to a report from Football Insider, Spurs want to sell him permanently, but they understand it will be difficult thanks to his high wages.Â

The Turkish deadline is until 12 September, while the Saudi window is closing around two weeks later, which means a loan agreement is increasingly likely.Â

The former Brentford boss was reportedly unhappy with Bissouma's attitude, and he was dropped from the travelling squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain due to persistent lateness back in August.Â

The report claims that the relationship between the pair is beyond repair, and it will be best for all parties involved if he is allowed a loan move.Â

A new era at Tottenham?Â

A new era begins at Spurs after executive chairman Daniel Levy was asked to step down after almost 25 years last week.Â

According to a report from Sky Sports News, Tottenham's majority owners, the Lewis family, could invest more money into the squad as they aim for higher ambitions than simply participating in the Champions League.Â

The wage-to-turnover ratio of 42% at the club is one of the lowest in the league, and there is a feeling that Spurs have not spent enough in the transfer market compared to their rivals.Â

While the news will surely excite the fans, they will not mind if Bissouma finds a way to move to either Turkey or Saudi Arabia before their respective deadlines.Â
