Yves Bissouma has been on the fringes at Tottenham Hotspur this season.
The Mali midfielder has featured just nine times in the current campaign, with disciplinary issues and his place in the pecking order contributing to that.
Roberto De Zerbi drafted him into the starting line-up for the 2-2 draw with Brighton, and he played 56 minutes in the contest.
His future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is under question, as his contract expires in the summer and it looked as though he was set to leave.
However, Tottenham could perform a U-turn and keep him around after the latest scenes.

Why Bissouma might have a second lease of life at Tottenham
John Wenham would like to see Bissouma and Tottenham part ways at the end of the season, but he did concede that he could be given a second chance.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “Yves Bissouma came back into the line-up, a player that I’ve said to you, I’m not overly fussed with whether he plays or doesn’t play,
“In eight weeks time, his contract is up at Tottenham, and I expect him to leave for free, but it seems like De Zerbi did trust him to start.
“He did get a yellow card in the first half, which was sort of in my head, I was thinking maybe he’s got a going off at halftime, but he did play a little bit longer. I think he played 56 minutes before he was part of a double substitution.
“He seems like someone who may now get a second lease of life at Tottenham.”
Why Tottenham should part ways with Bissouma
The Lilywhites would be better off letting Bissouma depart for nothing, he is too much of a liability when it comes to his conduct and his fitness.
He rubbed Thomas Frank the wrong way due to turning up to training late and being recorded doing Nitrous Oxide balloons.
He has also missed a total of 33 matches for club and country through injury this season, so he cannot be relied upon and should be moved on.
An exit is the correct move for all parties, and a new deal should not be considered by the hierarchy in N17.
