Is Fenerbahce Poised to Snatch a Star from Tottenham’s Roster?

Fenerbahce is poised to make a move on Tottenham’s ranks, with director Devin Ozek reportedly ready to cross the Channel and secure a €15 million deal for a Spurs player. As the transfer window drama unfolds, we’re left wondering: can the Super Lig club pull off this audacious bid?

Fenerbahce’s Pursuit of a Tottenham Star

Rumor has it that Fenerbahce’s sporting director, Devin Ozek, is all set to jet off to England to negotiate a €15 million (£13 million) deal for Yves Bissouma. This hefty amount is the price tag being floated for the 28-year-old midfielder, according to Turkish news outlet, Fotomac.

But it’s not going to be a smooth ride for Fenerbahce. They’re reportedly not the only ones eyeing Bissouma, with West Ham and Juventus also in the mix. The race is on and it’s anyone’s game at this point.

The Bissouma Dilemma for Tottenham

While Bissouma’s quality is undeniable, consistency has been a stumbling block for the Ivorian-born player during his time at Tottenham. His game time might be further limited due to the loan signing of fellow defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha. As his contract is set to expire next summer, it could be a strategic move for Spurs to cash in on him now.

A Bit About Bissouma

For those not in the know, Bissouma, originally from Ivory Coast, relocated to Mali at the age of 13. He’s made 100 appearances for Tottenham and netted two goals. Internationally, he’s been representing Mali since 2016, earning 45 caps and scoring six goals.

What’s Next for Tottenham?

With Rodrigo Bentancur in their ranks as a defensive midfield option, Tottenham might be willing to part ways with Bissouma. However, the final decision remains to be seen. Will the north London club let him go or decide to keep him around for another season? Only time will tell.
