Yves Bissouma is claimed to have told Brighton that he wishes to leave this summer, with Arsenal and Aston Villa both claimed to be of interest.
The midfielder was strongly linked with a potential move to the Emirates last summer, but the club opted to sign Albert Sambi Lokonga instead, a move that doesn’t appear to have worked out at this point. While the Belgium international started a number of matches this term, he only has minutes from one of our fixtures in 2022 thus far thanks to suspensions for both Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.
The Swiss midfielder was strongly linked with a potential exit last summer also, and is once again being linked with a potential exit, further enhancing the likelihood that we could be set to add another option to our ranks.
With this in mind, it could well be perfect timing for Bissouma to be ready to move on from the Amex, with 90min claiming that he has told his current club that he now wants to leave, and I’m sure I wouldn’t be alone in wanting him to line up alongside Thomas Partey at the base of the midfield for next term.
The same report also claims that Man United had held an interest in his signature previously, and it wouldn’t be too big of a shock if they was to look at strengthening in that area of the team this summer also.
Patrick
He wants to be here. Sell Xhaka and Elneny then sign him
And no mention of the sexual assault charges hanging over his head…
Typical.
Another African midfielder 2 partner Tomas Partey, so both can depart 4 AFCON & leave us in a limbo? No way!!! Arsenal won’t be that stupid.
I don’t rate him he just does’nt seem good enough for me.let’s just splash the cash on tielemans or phillips since they can play as 8 or 4.
I aslo prefer Tielemans or Phillips Fk but Bissouma too is a good player so is Fabian Ruiz any of them will do.
I learnt tielemans want cl football which we are getting next season so i perceive him to be a better option since he is very ambitious and attacks really well,he will complement partey in a midfield pivot and/or odegaard in 4-3-3 formation,a deadly combo mates.
Football Insider writes “Yves Bissouma is in the last 15 months of his contract” = “he is looking for a new club” = 90 minutes writes “According to Football Insider Yves Bissouma is looking for a new club” = “Yves Bissouma has requested to leave this Summer!” = Absolute dire reporting based on no factual information! Other than he is still under contract at Brighton.
