Yves Bissouma is on his way to Tottenham Hotspur to complete his transfer from Brighton, football.london understands.
The 25-year-old midfielder was due to set off on a flight to the UK on Wednesday and set to stay overnight at The Lodge, the hotel within Tottenham's Hotspur Way training complex in Enfield, before completing his medical on Thursday and the formalities of his move from Brighton.
Bissouma had gone off at half-time of Mali’s game away to South Sudan last week with an ankle injury and has been spotted on crutches and with a protective boot in images since, but he assured fans on social media that the injury was not serious. Spurs are expected to complete the deal for Bissouma for a fee that could rise to more than £30m with add-ons. The Mali international midfielder has been a key player for the Seagulls under Graham Potter in recent seasons and has drawn plenty of interest from Europe's top sides.
