Spurs are open to the midfielder leaving the club, but according to sources, they are trying to avoid a bid that is too low.
Yves Bissouma was genuinely sad when Tottanham captain Son Heung-min changed clubs to Los Angeles FC a few days ago.
Tottenham have been looking at the possibility of building up their midfield under Thomas Frank, and there have been opportunities all summer for Bissouma to leave.
Price negotiations are
ongoing It is believed that the Turkish club are trying to get a potential deal down to £10 million (approx. 135 million kroner) while resuming their interest from earlier this summer. But Tottenham want a better deal if he is to be sold.
There is also a feeling that Galatasaray could come back into the picture, but for now, it is Fenerbahce who have the opportunity to secure Bissouma.
The player is not convinced
Bissouma must be convinced of the transfer, having previously been linked with clubs in both France and Italy.
Some sources suggest that Bissouma prefers to wait for now, as middle managers have also tried to create opportunities for a transfer within the Premier League.

For now, it is Fenerbahce who are in talks, and clarity about their financial situation and opportunities should become clear soon.
Bissouma not in Frank’s good book
Bissouma has not made a good impression on the new Tottenham boss Frank at the beginning of his time at the club. The coach revealed that he had to leave the midfielder out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup due to repeated delay.
Frank said,
“Bissouma is not here for disciplinary reasons. He has been late several times, and the last time was one time too many. We must give love and have demands, but there must also be consequences. It has been a consequence, and we will follow it up when we get home.”
Bissouma was then absent from the Premier League opener against Burnley, with Frank stating that the midfielder had picked up an injury.
However, with a 3-0 win over Burnley and a good performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup – both without Bissouma – he doesn’t seem to be needed for the team.
Tottenham summary: Spurs chasing Nathan Collins
Tottenham and Manchester United have reportedly both joined Liverpool in their pursuit of Brentford centre-back Nathan Collins.
But for Spurs, manager Frank’s respect for his former club Brentford could mean they don’t move for the defender.
At the same time, it is claimed that Tottenham are “ready to sign” Eberechi Eze after making a bid of £60 million (approx. NOK 810 million). Personal terms with the Crystal Palace player must already be agreed upon.
