Tottenham Hotspur now look to have decided on the future of Yves Bissouma after the midfielder was caught inhaling laughing gas.
Yves Bissouma has less than 12 months left on his current Tottenham Hotspur deal, and the Malian midfielder, who signed for £25 million, has yet to play a competitive game for the club this season for a variety of reasons.
Bissouma was left out of Thomas Frank’s UEFA Super Cup squad for disciplinary reasons after arriving late to training repeatedly.
Injuries have also limited his involvement, as he picked up a knock while away on international duty back in October.
Tottenham’s transfer stance on Yves Bissouma after laughing gas incident
Spurs looked to sell Bissouma last summer, but every attempt fell through, and the midfielder was later caught inhaling nitrous oxide for a second time in his Tottenham career back in November.
The Times are now reporting that, following that incident, alongside a string of other disciplinary issues, Spurs are looking to sell Bissouma in January.
It is also claimed that Tottenham could potentially extend the Mali international’s contract for one more year, although if Spurs decide against an extension, they run the risk of losing the 29-year-old on a free next summer.

Fitness issues ultimately caused Bissouma to remain at Tottenham through the summer as he was close to moving to Turkey before the deal stalled late on.
Interest in the midfielder is still believed to be present heading into the winter window, with French sides Nice and Marseille, alongside Fenerbahce, West Ham United and Everton, previously showing interest and potentially ready to revisit the situation in January.
It is claimed that a move abroad is more likely at this stage, but any transfer will have to come after the AFCON, as Bissouma is set to represent Mali.
