AliousIgor Tudor’s turbulent spell at Tottenham Hotspur has already come to an end following his recent sacking, which was confirmed shortly after the heavy 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. The loss proved to be the final straw in what had been a difficult tenure, though the Croatian did receive sympathy from supporters after the personal tragedy of losing his father, forcing him to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium immediately after that match to return home.
With Tudor now gone, attention has swiftly shifted to the club’s next steps. Tottenham’s hierarchy are using the international break as an opportunity to appoint a new manager ahead of the final seven crucial games of the season, as they look to stabilise results and steer the team away from further decline.
Amid the managerial upheaval, there has also been a significant development regarding Yves Bissouma’s future at the club.
Tottenham set to part ways with Yves Bissouma
According to reports from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are planning to allow Bissouma to leave when his contract expires in June, meaning he is likely to depart North London on a free transfer in search of a fresh challenge.
The midfielder, who joined from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2022, will not have his optional contract extension triggered. His representatives have already begun talks with potential suitors ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Bissouma came close to joining Fenerbahçe last summer, but a knee injury derailed the move. Earlier this season, he also found himself out of favour under former manager Thomas Frank, before further fitness issues saw him drop down the pecking order.
A return to France appears increasingly likely, with both Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice reportedly interested. In addition, clubs from the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer are monitoring his situation, while Turkish sides remain in the race.
Ultimately, Bissouma’s time at Tottenham has not lived up to expectations, and after several inconsistent seasons, a summer exit now seems inevitable. His departure would free up wages and give Spurs the flexibility to rebuild their midfield as part of a broader squad overhaul under a new permanent head coach.
