Tottenham could soon face a pivotal decision regarding the future of Yves Bissouma, with reports indicating a possible departure next summer.

Bissouma, whose contract runs until 2026, has been a key figure in Ange Postecoglou's squad this season. However, according to Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold, the club may be open to selling the 28-year-old if a reasonable offer is received.

However, Gold emphasised that the player's willingness to move, particularly with only a year remaining on his deal next summer, could play a significant role in any potential transfer.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Spurs expert said:

"At this stage, Tottenham would likely accept a decent bid for Yves Bissouma next summer, if it arrived.

"Just how motivated the player would be to leave the club with only 1 year left on his contract could prove to be a roadblock to any possible transfer."

Bissouma joined Spurs from Brighton in the summer of 2022 for a reported £30 million fee. After a disappointing debut season under Antonio Conte, he emerged as a key player in Postecoglou's midfield, earning plaudits for his performances this campaign.

He started the 2023–24 season in scintillating form, securing consecutive Man of the Match awards in early fixtures against Brentford and Manchester United.

His ability to shield the defence, control transitions, and dictate the tempo of play has made him an indispensable presence in Tottenham's midfield.

So far this season, Bissouma has made 17 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice in the Premier League. His standout moment came in a 4-0 rout of Everton, where he delivered a commanding display capped with a well-taken goal.

Despite his strong on-pitch performances, the midfielder's time at Spurs has not been without controversy. Earlier this year, the midfielder was suspended for Tottenham's Premier League opener after being caught on video inhaling laughing gas. The incident raised concerns about his professionalism and discipline, casting a shadow over his otherwise solid contributions.

With 175 Premier League appearances to his name, Bissouma's experience and talent are undeniable assets. Yet, as the midfielder approaches the final year of his contract next summer, Tottenham may be tempted to cash in rather than risk losing him for free later.

The decision will hinge on several factors, including his form in the months ahead, his willingness to remain in North London, and the calibre of bids Spurs receive. For now, the ball is in Tottenham's court as they weigh the pros and cons of retaining or parting ways with one of their most influential players.
