West Ham Plans Midfield Boost with Tottenham's Bissouma

West Ham United are actively pursuing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma as a key target to strengthen their struggling midfield before the transfer window closes. Tottenham, who have made Bissouma available for transfer following disciplinary issues and the arrival of João Palhinha, are reportedly seeking around £20 million for the Malian midfielder. Bissouma, who played under West Ham manager Graham Potter at Brighton, could reunite with the coach, which may help him regain form and confidence after falling out of favor at Spurs. West Ham's midfield showed clear weaknesses in their recent 5-1 defeat to Chelsea, highlighting the urgent need for reinforcements. The Hammers are considering both permanent and loan options for the 28-year-old, with Tottenham open to letting him leave to balance their squad. This move is seen as critical for West Ham to improve their early season performance and provide Potter with necessary midfield stability.
