Bissouma set to join Ajax after Tottenham exit

Former Tottenham midfielder, Yves Bissouma, is on the verge of joining Ajax on a deal until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old defensive midfielder has been without a club since being released by Tottenham in June but is now set to return to football in the Netherlands.

Bissouma has agreed an initial deal with Ajax until the end of the season, with an option to extend the contract for a further 12 months.

The Mali international is currently in Amsterdam to finalise his move to the Eredivisie club.

Bissouma joined Tottenham from Brighton in 2022 and made 111 appearances for the north London club during his three-year spell.

His time at Spurs was disrupted by disciplinary issues, including being left out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain in August 2025 after persistent lateness.

Bissouma made 11 appearances in his final season at Tottenham, all in the Premier League.

Spurs finished 17th that season, their second consecutive campaign in that position.

The move to Ajax will give Bissouma an opportunity to revive his career and establish himself again at a club competing at the top end of Dutch football.
