Mali–Ivory Coast defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma is being linked with a summer move from Tottenham to La Liga side Celta de Vigo.
The 29-year-old, who plays as a defensive midfielder and wears the No 8 shirt at Spurs, is the subject of fresh speculation, with Spanish reports suggesting Celta are weighing up a move despite no clear indication yet of how advanced talks might be. The probability of the transfer is currently listed as “?” and there is no confirmed contract expiry date for the player at Tottenham, prompting talk he could yet run down his deal and explore a free‑agent exit further down the line.
Bissouma, born in Issia on 30 August 1996 and standing at 1.82m, is valued at €10.00m by Transfermarkt, a figure being used as a reference point in discussions around any potential deal. A right‑footer whose main role is shielding the back four, he has built his reputation in the Premier League with his ball-winning and pressing capacity.
The midfielder has represented both Mali and Ivory Coast at international level, and his dual-nationality profile adds further appeal for clubs looking for an experienced anchor. While detailed contractual terms at Spurs are not publicly disclosed, the absence of a listed expiry date continues to fuel speculation that Tottenham may listen to offers rather than risk him edging towards a free transfer scenario in the future.
