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 join Ajax on a deal that runs until the end of the current season. The 30-year-old defensive midfielder was released by Spurs in June but is making a return to football in the Netherlands. Bissouma has reportedly agreed to a contract until the end of the season with the option of an additional 12 months.
Currently in Amsterdam, he is finalizing the move to the Eredivisie club. Bissouma joined Tottenham in 2022 after a high-profile move from Brighton, making 111 appearances for the north London club. In August 2025, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank omitted Bissouma from the squad for a UEFA Super Cup match against Paris St-Germain due to the player's consistent lateness.
During his time at Spurs, Bissouma scored 11 appearances, all in the Premier League, as the team finished 17th for the second consecutive season.
