According to numerous verified reports, Tottenham have agreed to sign Brighton\u2019s Yves Bissouma for \u00a325 million.<\/p>\n
This would mark Tottenham\u2019s third signing, but first since the transfer period opened last Friday. Bissouma has been rumored with a Tottenham move for some time now.<\/p>\n
The Brighton midfielder is expected in Tottenham next week for a medical, but all signs point to confirmation of signing the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n
Bissouma will offer Spurs the engine room in defensive central midfield they\u2019ve been looking for. Tottenham have been watching his progress for a few years now, but instead opted for Tanguy Ndombele, who struggled to come to grips with life in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa and Arsenal were also after Bissouma, but the Ivorian decided to instead play for a Champions League side, once again proving how crucial securing fourth place was for Tottenham\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
While the deal isn\u2019t completely done yet, all signs point to Spurs finally getting a player whose qualities resemble Moussa Dembele\u2019s, who departed the club in 2019.<\/p>\n
Bissouma joins Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster as Tottenham\u2019s new signings. We\u2019re still less than a week into the transfer period, reinforcing just how serious Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte are about bringing in up to six quality players before the 2022-23 Premier League campaign commences.<\/p>\n
