Yves Bissouma experienced a lot of injuries during his first season at Tottenham.
Journalist Alasdair Gold has tipped Yves Bissouma to “thrive” at Tottenham Hotspur next season following an impressive start to pre-season.
What did Gold say?
There was great expectation when Bissouma arrived in north London following several impressive years at Brighton & Hove Albion.
A Brighton star moving on to “bigger and better things” after having made such an impact on the south coast was surrounded by a lot of excitement, much like Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo this summer.
The Seagulls were persuaded to sell for £35 million, with any potential add-ons, and Bissouma was hailed as Tottenham’s solution to their lack of grit in the center of the field. The goal of the Mali international was to give Antonio Conte’s midfield some much-needed bite.
But things didn’t turn out as expected. After a sluggish start to the season, the 26-year-old was used more as a replacement than a starter in a Spurs team that was winning games despite some dubious performances.
As 2023 rolled around, Bissouma still struggled for minutes and things would get much worse due to an ankle injury that required surgery. He spent 15 matches in the treatment room and only returned for the final four games of the Premier League season, making appearances in three.
A new season and manager provides new hope for the defensive-midfielder, who has already joined up with Spurs for pre-season.
According to Alasdair Gold, who was speaking on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast, Bissouma has looked sharp in training so far and the journalist believes he has all the tools to succeed at Spurs next year.
