Turkish giants intensify their pursuit for controversial Tottenham star as January move remains a possibility

To make matters worse, Bissouma then picked up an injury in training, ruling him out for several months. He was close to heading for the exit doors at N17 in the summer after the club placed him on the transfer list. However, his untimely injury meant that the Lilywhites were forced to keep him in their ranks this season, bringing an end to reports linking him away from Hotspur Way.

Tottenham might still be able to cash-in on Yves Bissouma

Tottenham are keen to bring in reinforcements this winter as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League. However, a key priority for the Lilywhites should also be trimming the deadwood from their squad before the transfer window shuts in a few days’ time. The North Londoners need to be ruthless and make decisive calls on certain players’ futures as they look to create space for new arrivals in the second half of the campaign.

Recent reports suggest that Galatasaray are keen on signing Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma on a permanent deal this winter. The Turkish giants are eager to strengthen their midfield for the remainder of the season, with the Malian high on their list of potential targets. As a result, the Super Lig club’s president has reportedly flown to the UK to push through a deal to land the prolific midfielder for the second half of the campaign.

There has now been a fresh update on the transfer saga surrounding Bissouma’s potential exit from N17. According to Turkish Football, Galatasaray have stepped up their efforts to sign the Mali international before the January window closes. The Turkish giants are prepared to offer a significant fee for his services, forcing the Lilywhites to make a decision on the midfielder’s future in the coming days. Spurs can either recoup a fee from his sale or risk losing the 28-year-old on a free transfer in the summer when his contract expires.

The time may have come for the North Londoners to cash in on Bissouma during the January window. His departure would allow Spurs to line up a more suitable replacement for the second half of the campaign. The midfielder is also open to a move away this winter, making it a win-win situation for all parties if a switch to Galatasaray materialises.

Will Yves Bissouma head to Turkey for the remainder of the campaign, or will he remain at N17 and see out his contract with Spurs this season? Only time will tell.
