Ex-Tottenham midfielder Bissouma set to join Ajax
Former Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is on the verge of joining Ajax on an initial deal that runs until the end of the season.
Yves Bissouma, the former Tottenham midfielder, is set to sign a deal with Ajax that will run until the end of the current season. The 30-year-old defensive midfielder, who was released by Tottenham in June, is making his way back to Dutch football. Reports indicate that Bissouma has finalised the move to Ajax, with the option for a further 12 months.
Currently in Amsterdam, the Mali international is completing the necessary paperwork to join the Eredivisie club. Bissouma began his career at Tottenham in 2022, after a high-profile transfer from Brighton, and made 111 appearances for the north London side. In August 2025, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank left Bissouma out of the squad for their match against Paris St-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup due to repeated lateness.
Bissouma made 11 appearances for Tottenham during his final season, all of which came in the Premier League as the team finished 17th for the second consecutive season.
