Overview

• West Ham have added Bissouma to their shortlist and are regarded as serious contenders to sign him, according to multiple reports.
• Tottenham are prepared to sanction a loan exit late in the window, though they would still prefer a permanent sale.
• The Hammers are weighing a temporary deal to address a defensive‑midfield vacancy created by Edson Álvarez’s loan to Fenerbahçe.
• Bissouma’s standing at Spurs has waned under Thomas Frank, who dropped him for disciplinary reasons and excluded him from the first two league squads.
• A move would reunite Bissouma with Graham Potter from their Brighton days, with Juventus also reported to be tracking the situation.
