West Ham United and Everton are prepared to provide Yves Bissouma with an exit route out of Tottenham in January.

The 29-year-old midfielder is unwanted at the north London club, and he needs to move on. He has been linked with clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia. However, the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winner has rejected the opportunity to join them, and he wants to remain in the Premier League.

He has been frozen out at Tottenham since the arrival of Thomas Frank. The player is currently on the fringes of the first team, and he will look to play more often in the coming months. Leaving Tottenham in January will be a top priority for him. As per Football Insider, Everton and West Ham are keen on the player, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Yves Bissouma would improve both teams

He has shown his quality in the Premier League with Brighton and Tottenham. There is no doubt that he would improve both teams. Everton and West Ham have looked vulnerable defensively, and they need someone who can protect the back four and break down the opposition’s attacking moves. The Mali International could be the ideal fit for them. He is well settled in the Premier League. He could make an instant impact.
