Tottenham have redefined inconsistency, proving capable of beating Europe’s best, like Liverpool, only to fall to Leicester soon after. Defying expectations in the worst way, Spurs now sit 13th in the table, heading towards their first finish outside the top 10 since 2008. Despite bringing in new signings to strengthen the squad amid an injury crisis, Tottenham are prepared to offload midfielder Yves Bissouma in the summer. According to GIVEMESPORT, Olympique Marseille, OGC Nice, and Crystal Palace are all keen on signing him.
Tottenham signed Yves Bissouma from Brighton & Hove Albion during the summer of 2022 for around £25 million. Injuries, suspensions, and patchy performances have otherwise prevented him from becoming a consistent first-choice player under both Antonio Conte and the current boss Ange Postecougou. This season, the 28-year-old has featured in 12 Premier League games, playing 1,055 minutes. With Spurs planning a summer rebuild of the squad in the transfer window, Bissouma is likely to be one of the players to leave before the 2025/26 season.
What’s in store for the Mali international
In his three years at Tottenham, Yves Bissouma has not been free of injuries and poor form, but has only managed to rack up 88 appearances. Despite being expected to make a quality contribution at the back with goals, he has only scored two. GIVEMESPORT recently mentioned that Tottenham have no intention of negotiating a new contract for him, so he is on the market for a summer exit. This has opened the door for a return to France, where he initially played for Lille prior to joining the Premier League in 2018. Now GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that Bissouma is willing to return to Ligue 1, the division where he initially rose to fame and matured into one of the most-rated prospects.
Nice and Marseille, two of France’s largest clubs, are both keen to sign Yves Bissouma. A Premier League residence is still on the cards, with Crystal Palace following developments closely and likely to make an enquiry. Other teams may also get into the hunt for his services.
Bissouma seems destined to depart Tottenham in the summer, although his next club is unknown. Spurs will hope to make a profit on the midfielder after signing him from Brighton for £25 million.
A loan move could be the ideal solution for Bissouma to rediscover his rhythm and unlock his full potential. With French clubs showing interest, a return to Ligue 1 could offer him the perfect platform to revive his form and prove himself outside England.

Bissouma hasn’t had the right opportunities to showcase his full potential at Tottenham, and it’s becoming clear that the club might not be the right fit for the Mali international. A move elsewhere could provide the fresh start he needs to reignite his career.
