  "account": "Yves Bissouma, the former Tottenham midfielder, has completed his transfer to Ajax on an initial deal that expires at the end of the season. The 30-year-old defensive midfielder was not part of Spurs' squad for their match against Paris St-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup in August 2025 due to his frequent tardiness. After leaving Spurs in June, Bissouma signed a deal with Ajax which also includes the option for a further 12 months, according to BBC Sport. Ajax's technical director, Jordi Cruyff, stated that they had been in discussions with Bissouma since August. Cruyff added that the club brought in an experienced player who knows what it takes to perform at the highest level, and he is capable of playing in several positions. Bissouma, who joined Tottenham in 2022 after a high-profile move from Brighton, made 111 appearances for the London club in his final season with the team. He played all of his 11 appearances in the Premier League as Tottenham finished 17th for the second consecutive season in 2024-25.",
