After four disappointing years in North London, Malian midfielder Yves Bissouma will leave Tottenham Hotspur at the end of his current contract.
Joining from fellow Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion for €30m in 2022, Yves Bissouma was extremely highly rated when he moved to Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite being a member of the squad who won the UEFA Europa League in 2024/25, Bissouma will largely look back at his time at Spurs as a missed opportunity to kick on and realise the potential he showed with the Seagulls.
Still, as he departs the Lilywhites as a free agent, the Malian international is unlikely to be short of potential suiters and, with that in mind, let's take a look at which clubs could sign Yves Bissouma this summer.
The club most heavily linked with a move for Yves Bissouma are Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The Turkish Super Lig champions have a history of purchasing players from the Premier League, with Davinson Sanchez, Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Sara, Mario Lemina and Wilfred Zaha all previous examples.
Bissouma possesses the ability and reputation to be a big name signing in Turkey, with Galatasaray also able to offer high wage packages for star players.
After securing promotion from the Championship last season, Hull City will be looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
It is widely agreed that the Tigers will need a large number of signings this summer, while financial issues continue to be a backdrop at the MKM Stadium.
A free transfer for Yves Bissouma would present a good opportunity to add Premier League experience and quality to their squad, without using up too much of their budget to do so.
Sunderland showed last campaign the importance of an experienced, top level midfielder in attempting to navigate a first season back in the top flight - through Granit Xhaka - and Hull should be aiming to follow suit.
With Carlos Baleba's Brighton career continuing to look more uncertain by the day, could a return to the South Coast be on the cards for Bissouma?
While currently unlikely, a move back to Brighton - where he originally established himself in England - could be exactly what the Malian needs to recapture his best form.
Having been a member of a UEFA competition winning squad, Bissouma could be a key part of Brighton's Conference League campaign next season.
As football in Saudi Arabia continues to grow, an increasing number of top level players are moving to the Saudi Pro League.
With the ability to offer significant salary, Pro League sides have consistently been able to attract players of Bissouma's calibre to the Middle East and, after a few injury hit years, could make an offer to the Malian that would be impossible to turn down.
