Thomas Frank is reportedly ready to hand a second chance to 29-year-old Malian international Yves Bissouma, even though Tottenham Hotspur wanted a summer sale.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Yves Bissouma may have a future at Tottenham Hotspur despite rubbing Thomas Frank the wrong way a few weeks ago. The newly-appointed Tottenham manager was ready to sanction the Malian midfielder’s exit, with widespread updates linking him with Premier League and Turkish clubs.

However, Tottenham ran out of time in the summer transfer window, even though they were open to sanctioning a loan exit for the African midfielder. The failure to seal an exit may have handed an opportunity to Bissouma, as Thomas Frank is open to giving him a second chance.

Yves Bissouma and an assessment of his situation

Yves Bissouma has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth £35 million in July 2022. While the 29-year-old midfielder has enjoyed phases where he has shown why the North London club secured his services, he has not been consistent enough in the middle of the park. However, the player reached the lowest ebb of his Tottenham career after rubbing Thomas Frank the wrong way with his attitude.

The Malian international has made 100 appearances thus far for Tottenham while chipping in with one goal. However, widespread reports have suggested that Bissouma has no future at the North London club. The situation unsurprisingly piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, including Turkish Super Lig giants and Premier League outfits.

What next?

Widespread reports have claimed that Yves Bissouma is ready to leave Tottenham Hotspur after losing his place in the first-team squad. That has compelled many well-known clubs to show interest in the former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder.

Recent reports have linked the Tottenham outcast with Everton and West Ham United. However, the latest update has revealed that Thomas Frank is ready to hand Bissouma a lifeline at Tottenham, with the Danish tactician open to reintegrating the player “if he proves himself in training” after recovering from his injury.

The 29-year-old Malian international has spent several weeks in the treatment room due to a knock. However, while Harry Redknapp has also slammed Bissouma for his lack of discipline, Frank will give him a second opportunity to prove himself. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the player.
