Yves Bissouma could potentially be affected if Tottenham sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha this transfer window.
The ex-Fulham star is on Spurs’ radar, with the Bundesliga outfit looking to get around £21million from the Portugal international’s sale.
Juventus are credited with interest in Bissouma to replace Douglas Luiz, and the North London outfit may have made an indication of their plans for the Mali international.
Bissouma may make way if Tottenham make progress on Palhinha transfer
Bissouma may make way at Tottenham if they make progress to sign Palhinha from Bayern, Alasdair Gold says.
The football.london journalist believes Spurs could potentially sell the former Brighton ace if they get a deal over the line for the Portuguese midfielder.

Gold suggests the 28-year-old’s impending exit from the North London outfit, with his current contract set to expire in 2026.
The journalist wrote in football.london (27 July): “If Tottenham are to progress on their interest in Bayern’s Palhinha, then the Mali international is likely to be the one who makes way as he enters the final 11 months of his contract.”
Bissouama’s future at Tottenham is uncertain, and if they sign a defensive midfielder before the end of August, he may consider leaving.
Thomas Frank needs quality transfers after Morgan Gibbs-White deal collapsed
Morgan Gibbs-White has signed a new contract at Nottingham Forest, leaving Spurs to look for alternative targets this summer.
The North London outfit were ready to pay the midfielder’s £60m release clause at the Tricky Trees, but that money will now need to be spent on someone else.
Daniel Levy clearly has the funds necessary to build a competitive team for Thomas Frank at Tottenham and should make further quality additions in the coming weeks.
While Mohammed Kudus’ arrival from West Ham United is encouraging, Spurs fans expect more business to be done before the end of August.
The North London outfit struggled in the Premier League last season due to several fitness issues and should go into the 2025/26 campaign with better squad depth.
Bissouma has failed to live up to expectations and perform consistently in N17, and replacing him with Palhinha seems like a no-brainer.
