Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked with a summer exit as Leeds United are linked with him.
The 28-year-old has another year left on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This past season, Ange Postecoglou has only given him 16 league starts, with 12 appearances coming off the bench.
Leeds may haggle on the transfer fee and salary
According to Give Me Sport journalist Ben Jacobs, Leeds United are among the clubs monitoring Bissouma’s future.
A potential transfer to Leeds could depend on the financial aspects of the deal and Bissouma’s salary demands.
The 28-year-old Ivory Coast international may leave Spurs this summer, with his preference to remain in the Premier League aligning with Leeds’ ambitions following their promotion.
| Season | Minutes Played | Starts | Substituted In |
| 24/25 | 1,408 | 16 | 12 |
| 23/24 | 2,083 | 26 | 2 |
As the Elland Road club seeks to bolster their midfield, Bissouma emerges as a logical target.
Jacobs noted on June 2 that Leeds are a team to watch in this transfer saga, indicating their keen interest in securing the dynamic midfielder to strengthen their squad for the Premier League campaign.
Tottenham could look to cash in on Bissouma
Tottenham must capitalise on Bissouma’s transfer this summer, as his reduced game time under Postecoglou and one year left on his contract diminishes his value with each passing month.
The 28-year-old, signed for £25million from Brighton in 2022, has struggled with inconsistency and injuries, starting fewer than half of the possible Premier League matches and recently being overtaken by younger talents like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.
With his contract expiring in 2026, Spurs risk losing him for free if they don’t act now.
To maximise his transfer fee, potentially £15-20million, Spurs should actively market him to interested clubs, emphasising his Premier League experience and occasional brilliance, as seen in his standout Europa League performance against Bodo/Glimt.
They could also explore player-plus-cash deals to offset costs for replacements.
By leveraging competition among suitors and highlighting Bissouma’s potential in a fresh environment, Spurs can secure a decent fee to reinvest in Postecoglou’s squad rebuild, aligning with their Champions League ambitions.
