Agent tips 27-year-old Tottenham star to leave in January

Yves Bissouma tipped to leave Tottenham in January

Tottenham Hotspur may face an unexpected challenge in the January transfer window, with an unnamed football agent suggesting that 27-year-old star Yves Bissouma could be on the move.

The revelation comes as part of an assessment by The Athletic (subscription required), which gathered insights from 18 prominent football agents regarding the summer transfer business and upcoming moves in the winter window.

While half of the agents commended Tottenham’s acquisition of James Maddison as the standout deal of the summer, one agent took a different perspective when asked about potential January transfers. While the majority predicted Ivan Toney’s departure from Brentford (3 votes), this particular agent surprised by speculating that Bissouma might leave the North London club.

This unexpected prediction raises questions about Bissouma’s future at Tottenham. The Mali international has played a crucial role in Ange Postecoglou’s midfield, with the Spurs manager even entrusting him with leadership responsibilities within the squad.

Could Biss leave?

Bissouma’s presence in the heart of Tottenham’s midfield has been notable since his arrival from Brighton in last year’s summer transfer window. His robust style of play, ability to break up opposition attacks, and distribution have earned him plaudits and a place as a key figure in Postecoglou’s system.

The notion of Bissouma departing Spurs in January may raise eyebrows among fans, given his importance to the team’s tactical setup and his growing influence within the squad. His partnership with fellow midfielders and his adaptability in different midfield roles have contributed to Tottenham’s promising start to the season.

However, the world of football transfers is unpredictable, and agents often possess insights into potential moves that can be intriguing. Bissouma’s future at Tottenham may depend on various factors, including the club’s performance, player ambitions, and market dynamics during the upcoming transfer window.

For now, it’s important for Tottenham supporters to focus on Bissouma’s contributions to the team’s success and the positive impact he has had since joining the club.
