Yves Bissouma have lifted the lid on his move to Tottenham Hotspur from Brighton & Hove Albion, which is subject to the granting of a work permit. The 25-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to north London, has left the Amex Stadium in a deal worth £25million, football.london understand.
He featured 26 times for Graham Potter's side in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards three goals from the heart of midfield. The Mali international's impressive displays originally courted the interest of Arsenal but, in a quick turn of events, Tottenham have swooped in and poached Mikel Arteta's signing.
football.london reported at the end of the season that Conte was in the market for six new signings, with Bissouma now announced as the third senior arrival at Hotspur Way following Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and young goalkeeper Josh Keeley. It's believed that the Italian boss wanted a centre-back, a wing-back, two midfielders, a forward and a backup goalkeeper.
