Fabrizio Romano: Final talks set to progress between Tottenham Hotspur and Yves Bissouma shortly
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Yves Bissouma are set to progress shortly regarding the final details related to his transfer. He is in line to join them this summer, with a departure from Brighton and Hove Albion looking seemingly likely right now.
Tottenham and Brighton have already reached an agreement over the transfer fee involved in Bissouma’s sale. Now, the former are looking to complete the final details by making progress on personal terms with the defensive midfielder soon enough. It is expected that common ground can imminently be found as it is a matter of a few steps at this point.
Spurs are looking to agree to terms with the Malian international and his representatives in the next few hours. Once that is done, a transfer can be green-lighted, which would firmly send yet another statement about the board’s full commitment to backing Antonio Conte ahead of the next season.
Massive signing indeed!
Romano has revealed through another tweet that the North Londoners are proposing a five-year contract to Bissouma and his camp. It remains to be seen whether the holding midfielder would accept this long-term offer and complete his move to N17 in the next few days or not.
If approved, Bissouma’s signing would essentially secure our long-term future in midfield at this point, looking at the remaining options in the squad. Furthermore, the supporters would be delighted to see that happen, considering how Conte succeeded at his previous clubs through similar backing from the management.
