Yves Bissouma Set for Ajax Move

Yves Bissouma is closing in on a move to Ajax, with the former Tottenham midfielder set to sign an initial deal running until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old, a free agent since leaving Spurs in June, is in Amsterdam to finalise the switch and complete a return to top-level football in the Netherlands. The agreement is understood to include an option to extend his stay in Amsterdam by a further 12 months.

The Mali international joined Tottenham in 2022 after a standout spell at Brighton and went on to make 111 appearances for the north London club. His time at Spurs, though, ended on a sour note. In August 2025, then-head coach Thomas Frank omitted him from the squad for the Uefa Super Cup clash with Paris St-Germain, citing persistent lateness.

Now Bissouma is on the brink of a fresh start in the Eredivisie, with Ajax betting that his experience and edge in midfield can still change games.
