Ex-Tottenham midfielder Bissouma joins Ajax

Former Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has joined Ajax on an initial deal that will keep him at the Dutch club until the end of the season. The 30-year-old defensive midfielder became a free agent after being released by Tottenham in June. Bissouma’s contract includes an option for a further 12 months, according to BBC Sport.

Ajax technical director Jordi Cruyff stated that the club had been in talks with Bissouma since August, describing him as an experienced player capable of performing at the highest level and playing in several positions. Bissouma, who joined Tottenham from Brighton in 2022, made 111 appearances for the north London club and made 11 appearances for Tottenham in his final season, all in the Premier League.

His move to Ajax gives the Mali international an opportunity to return to regular football and continue his career in the Netherlands.
