“SHOCKING HEIST! West Ham’s DARING Raid to Snag Tottenham’s 28-Year-Old Superstar Will Leave You SPEECHLESS!”
West Ham target late swoop for out-of-favour Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma
Yves Bissouma could be set for a reunion with Graham Potter, with West Ham exploring a potential move for the Tottenham midfielder.
The 28-year-old was a vital figure under Potter at Brighton before joining Spurs in a £25m deal in 2022.
However, he has fallen out of favour in North London, failing to feature in Tottenham’s opening two Premier League matches this season, including their statement win over Manchester City.
With the transfer window closing soon, West Ham have shown interest in both a permanent and a loan move for the Mali international.
The Hammers’ midfield has been exposed in the early weeks of the campaign, with their 5-1 thrashing by Chelsea on 22 August underlining the lack of strength and balance in central areas.
James Ward-Prowse and Tomas Soucek struggled to cope with Enzo Maresca’s side, raising doubts over the team’s ability to compete at the top level.
Bissouma’s dynamism, ball-winning ability, and familiarity with Potter’s tactical approach could provide an immediate solution. His style of play would bring energy and resilience to a midfield that has so far looked fragile.
Given that new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank appears unwilling to include him in his plans, a switch to the London Stadium could revive his career while keeping him in the Premier League.
Despite mounting criticism of Potter’s reign at West Ham, the club’s hierarchy remain committed to backing him.
Sources indicate that the board are not considering a managerial change, even after a poor start to the season.
Former West Ham scout Mick Brown has already suggested Potter is under “huge pressure” following a difficult run of results that extends back to the closing stages of last season.
Nonetheless, the club’s stance mirrors last year’s position, when they resisted calls to part ways with the former Chelsea boss and instead supported him in the transfer market.
Bringing in a proven Premier League midfielder like Bissouma would not only strengthen a key area but also reaffirm West Ham’s trust in Potter’s vision moving forward.
