According to a claim in the Turkish media, Fenerbahçe have again distanced themselves from signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to the Istanbul giants throughout the summer as they look to bring in a defensive midfielder.
Takvim today report on Fenerbahçe’s interest in the Tottenham player, and state the Mali international is unlikely to be brought in before the Super Lig deadline. Turkish sides have until September 12th to sign players, but the Yellow Canaries have concerns about Bissouma’s fitness.
Fenerbahçe have reportedly received the Tottenham midfielder’s medical records and subsequently they’ve cooled their interest.
Also, with Jose Mourinho departing last week the management could now be looking at other midfield options. The Portuguese coach had reportedly held talks with Bissouma earlier in the summer.
Bissouma made 44 appearances last season, but has yet to feature for Spurs in this campaign. The Malian has also been left out of Thomas Franks Champions League squad, which was announced this week.
He’s contracted to the London side until June 2026.
