West Ham United will reportedly look to sign 28-year-old Malian international Yves Bissouma from fellow London club Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Yves Bissouma is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are eager to reinforce their first-team squad by signing a holding midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Tottenham Hotspur man has emerged as a target for the East London outfit.

Widespread reports have also linked the former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder with Juventus, although the Serie A giants may not secure his services in the sumer transfer window. Meanwhile, Tottenham will demand around €15-20 million to part ways with Bissouma in the summer transfer window.

Yves Bissouma and his Tottenham career so far

Yves Bissouma has reached a crossroads in his career amid uncertainties surrounding his long-term future at Tottenham Hotspur. The 28-year-old has blown hot and cold since joining the North London club from Brighton & Hove Albion in July 2022. He has turned out 100 times thus far for Tottenham while chipping in with one goal.

However, Bissouma faces an uncertain future at the North London club, as they are ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, with widespread reports linking him with Juventus. However, the Bianconeri may not pursue the Malian international, and West Ham United may have an opportunity to prise him away from Tottenham Hotspur.

Move across London on the horizon?

West Ham United’s interest in Yves Bissouma is understandable. The Hammers are scouring the market for a midfielder this summer after Carlos Soler returned to Paris Saint-Germain without making his mark at the London Stadium. In addition, Guido Rodriguez, Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, and James Ward-Prowse face an uncertain future at West Ham.

Several candidates, including Fabio Vieira, have emerged on West Ham’s radar, with Bissouma also a viable target for the East London club. The former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder may not take long to settle down at the London Stadium, considering his vast Premier League experience. In addition, the opportunity to remain in the capital may appeal to him.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will not charge an excessive fee to part ways with Bissouma, as they will demand a fee around €15-20 million to sell him in the summer transfer window. Tottenham’s valuation makes the 28-year-old Malian international an appealing target, and it will be interesting to see if the Hammers fork out €15-20 million to secure his services.
