According to The Telegraph's Mike McGrath, Tottenham are in talks with Galatasaray as they look to engineer an exit for Bissouma. The Mali midfielder, who was dropped from Frank's squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain due to ill-discipline, could join the Turkish giants on loan with an obligation for the deal to be made permanent next year.

Bissouma was a key figure in Spurs' Europa League triumph under Ange Postecoglou. However, he has not played in any of their three competitive games so far this season, with the likes of Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray all ahead of him in the pecking order.

Bissouma impressed during his previous stint with Brighton before completing a move to Tottenham in 2022. However, he never managed to build up a consistent run of form during a few tumultuous years for Spurs and now looks set to leave as the club try to move players on during the final week of the summer transfer window.
