Tottenham<\/a> midfielder Yves Bissouma<\/a> is in talks to join Galatasaray on loan with an obligation to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bissouma, 28, is yet to feature for Spurs this season after being axed from their squad for the UEFA Super Cup against PSG<\/a> because of persistent lateness.<\/p>\n

The Mali international has been widely linked with a move away from the club in recent times and also missed their victories over Burnley<\/a> and Man City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daily Mail Sport\u00a0previously reported how Roma and Fenerbahce had expressed an interest in Bissouma, but Galatasaray have now seemingly emerged as frontrunners in the race.<\/p>\n

The midfielder has made 100 appearances for Spurs since joining from Brighton<\/a> in a deal worth \u00a325million plus add-ons in 2022 and he played the full 90 minutes of their victory over Man United<\/a> in the Europa League<\/a> final in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He featured 44 times in all competitions last season, but the summer addition of Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich<\/a> has knocked Bissouma down the pecking order.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bissouma <\/p>\n

Bissouma started and played the full 90 minutes of the Europa League final back in May<\/p>\n

The midfielder, who Spurs are believed to value at around \u00a320m, also faces competition in central midfield from Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bissouma’s dropping for the Super Cup was the latest disciplinary issue to blight his time in north London.<\/p>\n

A year ago, he was left out by\u00a0Ange Postecoglou<\/a>\u00a0after being filmed inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the timekeeping issue, Spurs boss Thomas Frank insisted he had moved on and said Bissouma was to be in the squad for their game against Burnley, although the Malian subsequently missed the 3-0 victory due to injury.<\/p>\n

‘We have dealt with the situation internally,’ Frank said. ‘There was a situation. I addressed it.<\/p>\n

‘There was a consequence and he will be in the squad. It is dealt with. We move forward to a big game.’<\/p>\n

Galatasaray have won the Turkish Super Lig in the past three seasons and their squad includes several former Premier League players such as Nicolo Zaniolo, Leroy Sane, Lucas Torreira and Mario Lemina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
