Africa-Press – Eritrea. Tottenham Hotspur have officially placed Yves Bissouma on the transfer list following the club’s successful acquisition of João Palhinha from Fulham. With the Portuguese midfielder set to become a key figure in Thomas Frank’s plans, Spurs have now opened the door for Bissouma’s departure — just two years after signing him from Brighton.
Sources close to the club confirm that West Ham United and Turkish giants Fenerbahçe have expressed strong interest in the Mali international, with the Hammers preparing a formal offer in the coming days. Tottenham are hoping to recoup at least €15 million for the 27-year-old, who has struggled to secure a consistent starting role in North London.
Bissouma, whose contract runs into its final year, is said to prefer remaining in London — a factor that could tip the scales in favour of West Ham’s pursuit. The midfielder is reportedly open to the idea of joining David Moyes’ side, where he could reunite with a more defensive-minded system that suits his ball-winning strengths.
Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, remain keen as they continue to strengthen under their ambitious transfer strategy, but the player’s preference for London living may complicate the Turkish club’s bid.
With negotiations heating up and Spurs eager to streamline their midfield options, Bissouma’s future looks set to be one of the key transfer sagas of the final weeks of the summer window.
