Everton are showing an interest in one of Tottenham Hotspur’s top performers from the Europa League final.
Tottenham Hotspur could be set for big changes this summer with Ange Postecoglou’s future in North London now looking increasingly in doubt.
Thomas Frank has held talks with Tottenham about being the man to replace the 59-year-old should the two parties decide to part ways.
Meanwhile, following a dismal Premier League campaign, big changes are also expected to arrive in the playing squad, and that could involve one of their top midfielders being sold.

Everton could enter the mix for Yves Bissouma
Everton have been tipped to enter the race to sign Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma by journalist Ben Jacobs. The Lilywhites are ready to offload the midfielder should they receive the right offer.
The Toffees are expected to be on the hunt for new midfielders this summer and the Malian international is one who they could target.
Jacobs told the Last Word On Spurs: “Bissouma is aware of this volume of interest, even Everton, I’m told, could come into the mix because they’re going to be losing a couple of midfielders and also looking to strengthen in that area.”
The 28-year-old is set to be available for transfer this summer, and he has a host of clubs that are also keen to sign him. Tottenham signed Bissouma for £25m back in the summer of 2022.
Aston Villa, Leeds United and Saudi Pro League clubs are amongst the parties who have also expressed an interest in him.

Would Yves Bissouma be a good fit for Everton?
Bissouma’s performance in the Europa League final was superb as the former Brighton player showed exactly why Spurs signed him in the first place.

Yves Bissouma’s stats in Europa League final
Postecoglou spoke to Bissouma about how important he can be for the team and it appeared to work with the midfielder’s fortunes being transformed.
But regardless of his improved form, Tottenham are ready to sell Bissouma and have been working to offload him for quite some time now.
If David Moyes and Everton were able to get the version of Bissouma who finished the season at Tottenham so strongly, that could be a significant coup for the Toffees.
