It's a dramatic twist.

Yves Bissouma, who was out of Thomas Frank's eye due to his 'common tardiness', turned to staying at Tottenham. England said on the 11th (Korea time) that 'Bissuma is currently unable to play due to physical problems, but he hopes to contribute to Tottenham again this season.'

And in the final year of his contract with Tottenham, Bissouma was strongly linked to Turkiye Galatasaray. But he chose to stay at Tottenham and finish his contract, according to the exclusive report.




Malian international Bissouma left Brighton for Tottenham in the summer of 2022. The transfer fee was 25 million pounds (about 47 billion won) including options.

Made just 100 appearances for Tottenham. He had a hard time adapting to the first season, but he became a main midfielder in the 2023-2024 season, where coach Enze Postecoglou took the helm.

Last season, he played 44 games in all competitions, including 28 in the English Premier League. He also played in the Europa League final against Manchester United and contributed to Tottenham's first win in 17 years.

But privacy was the problem. Before the opening of last season, Bissouma released a video of inhaling 'laugh gas balloons', which caused controversy. He was suspended for one game'internal disciplinary action'. Like a lie, this season 'discipline' was reenacted.

Bissouma accompanied Hong Kong on a 'Asia Tour' that led to South Korea. However, he was excluded from the entry at the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and UEFA Super Cups held on the 14th of last month. Director Thomas Frank himself revealed the reason.

He told a Super Cup press conference that `Bissouma has been late several times, most recently too late"It is important to give a lot of love to the players, but there are also demands and responsibilities accordingly. This time, the result is..."




Bissouma is full of excitement. There are ups and downs caused by intense emotions. You don't know where it's going to go. However, he is a person with deep affection. He was also seen pouring out hot tears when Son Heung-min (LAFC) announced his separation from Tottenham.

Bissouma has not appeared in three EPL matches in the new season as well as in the Super Cup. Tottenham defeated Burnley 3-0 on the 16th of last month and won 2-0 against enemy Manchester City on the 23rd. However, they lost 0-1 against Bournemouth on the 31st, just before the A-match break.

The transfer market of the five major European leagues, including the EPL, has ended, but Turkiye's summer transfer market in the 2025-2026 season will close on the 13th. Galatasaray were in talks with Tottenham to sign Bissouma on loan.

However, negotiations appear to have broken down as Bissouma chose to stay. The journey at Tottenham still looks tough. Tottenham have signed João Palinha from Bayern Munich on loan. Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Beribal and Archie Gray are also holding out.

Bissouma must overcome the competition. But the place to stand is not wide. He was also excluded from the final entry of the European Champions League (UCL).

Sources close to Bissouma said in a note that `The Sun' that Bissouma does not think his time at Tottenham is over and believes he can regain his position once he fully recovers"I'm out of training due to physical issues, but I'm hoping I can return soon and rejoin Frank's plans."," he stressed.
