da poker: Writing on Twitter, reliable journalist Charlie Eccleshare has tipped a potential move for star Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma in January – going on to claim he is a ‘possible January target’ for Daniel Levy and Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur.
da bet7: Bissouma, who has even been likened to former Spurs fan favourite Moussa Dembele, with Mauricio Pochettino once eyeing a move for him to succeed the Belgian back in 2017, could move away in January as many clubs eye a deal.
Bissouma move possible
Eccleshare has tipped the 24-year-old as a realistic target for Tottenham next month as this claim emerges, coming as arch north London rivals Arsenal are reportedly interested, alongside the likes of Liverpool.
Indeed, the box-to-box midfielder is a player currently enjoying the form of his career – with Eccleshare saying he is ‘getting better and better’ as the games go by this season.
Taking to social media, the Athletic correspondent has outlined him as a potential January target – coming amid claims that Spurs are also heavily interested in Marcel Sabitzer and Milan Skriniar.
Transfer Tavern take
Described as a player who could become ‘massive’, Bissouma is already turning the heads of big clubs ahead of January – but it remains to be seen whether Spurs do in fact go for him.
He is believed to be valued at around £40 million, almost three times as much as what the Seagulls paid to land him in the summer of 2018 (£15m).
Now his worth has skyrocketed to in and around Milan Skriniar’s reported price tag, this may be a move that will have to wait until after this season’s conclusion.
However, given last summer’s audacious transfer window, you can no longer rule anything out when it comes to Tottenham
