Tottenham News speaking to John Wenham
Sat 8 March 2025 12:10, UK
Yves Bissouma is thought to be open to joining Crystal Palace as a £15million Tottenham transfer claim emerges.
It looks as though it could be a summer of change in North London, especially with Ange Postecoglou at risk of being sacked.
There are plenty of players who are also at risk of being moved on, and Bissouma is one of them.
With Rodrigo Bentancur in line to be offered £150,000-a-week by Tottenham, that could open the door for Bissouma to move on, especially with the Mali international out of contract at the end of next season.
However, it looks as though the 28-year-old could at least be set to remain in the Premier League.

Bissouma ‘to join Crystal Palace from Tottenham for £15m’
As reported by GiveMeSport (2 March), Bissouma will be allowed to leave Tottenham in the summer, with Marseille, Nice and Crystal Palace all interested in the 28-year-old.
Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King exclusively told Tottenham News that a bid of £15m could be accepted.
And Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – agrees that an offer of £15m would be acceptable, and that Bissouma himself would make the switch.
“I’m sure Bissouma would be interested in joining Palace,” Wenham said.
“It would allow him to stay in London and the Premier League. Therefore, if Adam Wharton does move on, we could maybe sell Bissouma to Palace for about £15million.

Bissouma’s record for Tottenham
“I’m sure if he was available at that kind of price, a club like Palace would take a chance on Bissouma because he is an experienced Premier League midfielder.
“He spent four years at Brighton before joining Tottenham, so he has lots of experience. However, he just isn’t good enough to play for Tottenham moving forward.”

Tottenham need to move on from Bissouma
Bissouma has hardly played in recent weeks.
Tottenham look set in midfield with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall emerging as real options for the future, while Postecoglou still has the likes of Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski to call on.
Therefore, Bissouma’s exit makes sense, and if Spurs are to receive £15m, they are unlikely to have too many complaints.
