Yves Bissouma is attracting interest from Spain, amidst suggestions that the midfielder’s time at Tottenham is going to come to an end this summer.
The Mali international has had an injury-hit season, and his time at the North London club could be up at the end of the season.
According to reports, Tottenham are not expected to activate the one-year extension option in Bissouma’s contract, which means that he will be a free agent this June.
In fact, it was claimed by talkSPORT earlier this month that Spurs have already decided to cash in on the former Brighton man this summer, even if they stay in the Premier League.
Valencia eyeing early move for Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma
Fichajes have said that Valencia have started work to reshape their midfield ahead of next season, and they have set their sights on the Spurs star.
The report says that Bissouma’s name has ‘gained traction’ among the Spanish club’s hierarchy, who believe that the 29-year-old can be a ‘key addition’ to their project.
Valencia like the Mali international’s ball-winning ability and his physical attributes and do not want to miss out on the opportunity to land him on a free transfer.
The outlet adds that the La Liga side are keen to get ahead of the competition for the Tottenham star and secure his signature ‘well in advance’.
Could Bissouma’s stance change over the coming weeks after Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival?
Fichajes say that the midfielder may ‘welcome a change of scenery’ this summer and could be attracted by the opportunity to be a leader at Valencia.
This ties in with an update from Football Fancast a couple of weeks ago, which claimed that Bissouma is ‘unhappy’ with the way he has been treated at Tottenham and is keen on a summer exit.
However, Roberto De Zerbi handed the former Seagulls star a start against his former club last Saturday, which potentially hints that the Italian likes his profile.
Bissouma potentially has an opportunity to win over the new Tottenham boss over the next month as the Lilywhites fight to preserve their Premier League status.
