Yves Bissouma will now look to the January transfer window to depart Tottenham, after failing to do so in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to Africa Foot, who report that a knee injury is expected to keep the midfielder out until October and thus ruined his plans to leave Tottenham this summer.
The midfielder does not appears to be a part of Thomas Frank’s plans moving forwards and was linked with a move away throughout this summer, with several sides in Türkiye thought to be keen.
Indeed, Fenerbahce president Ali Koc revealed this week that they had ended up scrapping a move because of his latest injury. Africa Foot now report that will keep him out until October.
According to their information, several offers actually arrived from the Premier League, with Newcastle, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Chelsea also showing an interest.
Bissouma is interested in a move to revive his career away from Tottenham and according to their sources, has expressed a desire to stay in the Premier League. In fact, he would ‘play for any Premier League team’.
Tottenham, though, rejected this idea and would prefer to move him out of England. They appear to be favouring a sale to a club outside of England. Thus, discussions between them and Bissouma have reached an impasse.
The focus will now be on the January transfer window and finding a move that suits both parties during that month.
