Yves Bissouma - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Slow first season at Spurs Bissouma took six shots, created eight chances and picked up six yellow cards in 23 appearances (10 starts) this past season.

Impact Bissouma had a slow first season in a Spurs shirt as he failed to record a goal contribution or a clean sheet in his 23 appearances. He did undergo ankle surgery in February though, but his performances before that still left something to be desired. With a new manager set to join the club, Bissouma could see a boost in playing time if his skillset aligns with the manager's play style.

Impact Based on the manager's comments, Bissouma may not see any minutes against Aston Villa on Saturday even if he is included in the squad again. Still, the fact that the midfielder is ready enough to be in the squad could see him get some minutes before the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

Impact Bissouma has a chance to start Thursday against Manchester City after Pape Sarr didn't exactly look like the answer in the midfield against Arsenal.

Impact Bissouma conceded an obvious foul shortly after half time and will now miss Spurs' next match Wednesday against Crystal Palace.

Impact Bissouma's lone start for Tottenham so far came against West Ham on Aug. 31, but he's mostly been an impact substitute behind starters Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The 26-year-old is likely to continue getting minutes as the campaign progresses, first because he's still adapting to this new club he joined in the summer and also because he offers something different in midfield than the aforementioned pair.

Appears off bench in win Bissouma (hamstring) subbed into Saturday's match against Southampton in the 86th minute and played the final few minutes of the 4-1 victory.

Impact Bissouma made his Premier League debut for Spurs on Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury. Although he was a big arrival from Brighton in the offseason, there will be no need to rush him into the lineup with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur settled and playing well in midfield.

Needs more time Bissouma (hamstring) will likely have a decision on his status for Saturday's match against Southampton made Friday, according to manager Antonio Conte via football.london. "Bissou...

Impact Bissouma just needs to be careful with a hamstring injury, so it's probably safest to assume he won't play much if he is cleared to face the Saints. He's likely to back up Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the opening weeks of the season so Bissouma can afford to be more proactive in his recovery.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt for opener Bissouma tweaked his hamstring in a recent friendly against Roma and is a doubt for Saturday's opener versus Southampton, reports WeRTottenhamTV.

Impact Bissouma probably wasn't going to start the first match of the season, but an injury isn't a great start to the season for him. Even if healthy, he's assumed to be a backup to open the campaign, as he'll fight for time with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur. It's more likely he'll get minutes once UEFA competition picks up.

Transfers to Tottenham Bissouma has transferred to Tottenham from Brighton and signed a four-year deal.

Impact This move had been rumored for more than a week and it's confirmed Friday. Bissouma had been excellent for Brighton in his four seasons, starting 60 matches over the last two as a central midfielder. It's a similar in-league move to Tottenham that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg made a couple years ago. Unfortunately for Bissouma, there isn't a guaranteed spot in the starting XI for him with Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur holding down the midfield late last season.
