Yves Bissouma may have played his last game for Tottenham Hotspur, as he’s been included in Mali’s squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Africa Foot United report today that Mali coach Tom Saintfelt has released his list of selected players for the 2025 AFCON. The announcement is ‘marked’ by the return of Bissouma.
He’s been brought back into the national set up for the tournament. The Tottenham man’s return is one of the ‘major highlights’ of the announcement.
He’s missed the last few training camps but has now been included in what is a ‘revamped’ squad. Several key players are also returning alongside him. Eleven in the squad will be competing in their first Africa Cup of Nations.
Mali’s first game is against Zambia on Monday December 22nd. That means the Tottenham man is expected to link up with his nation in the coming days. That could mean he has now played his final game for Tottenham.
Bissouma hasn’t played for Tottenham this season. Reports throughout the summer have made it clear that Bissouma is not a part of their plans moving forwards.
A deal for an exit was not agreed at that point. Numerous reports have indicated clubs could come forward again in the January transfer window.
Now the midfielder is set to join up with Mali, which could mean his time at Spurs is officially at an end.
