Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has revealed whether Yves Bissouma or Ben Davies are likely to stay or leave the club this summer.
Bissouma spent much of the season watching on from the sidelines, partly due to injuries and partly because he was overlooked by Thomas Frank.
While the Mali international did get some minutes under Roberto De Zerbi towards the latter part of the campaign, reports widely indicate that the midfielder is keen on exiting Spurs this summer.
Bissouma himself has sent a big hint that he is on his way out of Tottenham, even though the Lilywhites have the option to extend his contract by one year.
Are Yves Bissouma and Ben Davies expected to leave Tottenham?
Meanwhile, Ben Davies’ contract at Spurs has also run out, and at 33 years of age, it remains to be seen if the Lilywhites would be willing to offer the defender a new deal.
However, Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has now confidently asserted that the Welshman will sign an extension at the North London club.
He also confirmed that Spurs have the option to extend Bissouma’s contract, but admitted that he is unsure if the club will activate it.
O’Keefe wrote on X: “Biss, the club have an option of another year. I’m not sure they’ll use it, though. Ben will sign an extension.”
Why Davies appears unlikely to stay at Spurs
Tottenham legend Gary Mabbutt has called on Spurs to hand Davies a new contract, stating that the club can always rely on his defensive quality and his character.
De Zerbi also publicly praised Davies’ leadership during Tottenham’s relegation battle, and it is no secret that this Spurs squad is lacking in leadership and experience.
However, with Andy Robertson expected to arrive at Tottenham, one would expect the Liverpool star to take the former Swansea man’s place in the squad.
The only way it makes sense for Davies to stay is in some kind of transition from player to coach over the 2026/27 season. He might not play a single minute, but it could be valuable to have a senior leader in the dressing room, especially if the likes of Cristian Romero depart.
