Galatasaray in Talks for Tottenham Midfielder Yves Bissouma Loan

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is close to joining Turkish club Galatasaray on a loan deal with an obligation to buy, following disciplinary issues including persistent lateness that have kept him out of Spurs' squad this season. Despite playing a key role in Tottenham's Europa League triumph last season, Bissouma has fallen down the pecking order after the arrival of Joao Palhinha and faces stiff competition for midfield places. Galatasaray, who have won the Turkish Super Lig in recent seasons, present an opportunity for Bissouma to revive his career with regular playing time. The player has agreed personal terms with Galatasaray, and the transfer is reportedly in its final stages. Tottenham appear ready to let Bissouma move on, while also seeking to bolster their midfield depth. The move is seen as beneficial for both parties, allowing Spurs to move on from a player no longer in the manager's plans and offering Bissouma a fresh start at a club competing in the Champions League.
