With Son’s departure now confirmed, Tottenham are preparing for further changes to the squad, and midfielder Yves Bissouma could be next out the door.

Football Insider revealed that Spurs are open to offloading Bissouma this summer as they continue their search for new midfield signings, a process that may see the Mali international fall further down the pecking order.

Regardless of Bissouma’s future, the club are actively working to strengthen their midfield.
