West Ham Explore Move for Tottenham Midfielder Yves Bissouma
West Ham United are weighing up a late move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma as the transfer window enters its final week. The Mali international, who has struggled for regular game time under Ange Postecoglou, could be set for a reunion with his former manager Graham Potter in east London.
Bissouma joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022 in a deal worth around £25 million but has yet to fully establish himself as a consistent starter. Despite showing glimpses of his quality, injuries and fierce competition in midfield have limited his impact, leaving his long-term future at the club uncertain.
Hammers boss Potter, who previously coached Bissouma at Brighton, is understood to be keen on rekindling their working relationship. During their time together on the south coast, the midfielder flourished under Potter’s guidance, becoming one of the Premier League’s most reliable ball-winners. That partnership could now be revived at the London Stadium as West Ham look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of a demanding season.
West Ham are not alone in their interest. Several European clubs are reportedly monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation, aware that Spurs may be open to offers. However, Bissouma still has years left on his contract, meaning any potential deal would likely hinge on Tottenham’s willingness to sanction either a loan move or a permanent transfer at the right price.
For the Hammers, the addition of Bissouma would bring further depth and energy to their midfield ranks, especially after the departure of several senior players in recent windows. With Potter eager to shape the squad in his image, reuniting with a trusted former player could provide both stability and quality.
As the deadline approaches, West Ham’s pursuit of Bissouma will be closely watched. Whether a deal can be struck remains uncertain, but the prospect of Potter and Bissouma linking up once again adds intrigue to the final days of the transfer market.
