West Ham's Midfield Makeover: Could Bissouma Be the Answer?
London, EnglandMon Aug 18 2025
West Ham United is exploring options to strengthen their midfield, with Yves Bissouma from Tottenham Hotspur emerging as a potential target.
Bissouma's Situation at Tottenham
- Joined Spurs in 2022
- Earns £100,000 a week
- Wants to remain in England
- May not be a regular starter under new manager Thomas Frank
West Ham's Struggles
- Last season was disappointing despite heavy summer spending
- Julen Lopetegui was sacked after six months
- Graham Potter couldn’t turn things around
- Poor start to the new season with a 3-0 loss to Sunderland
- Midfield looked slow
- Lucas Paqueta's future is uncertain
Why Bissouma Could Be a Good Fit
- Plays differently from current midfielders:
- James Ward-Prowse
- Tomas Soucek
- Guido Rodriguez
- Could bring a fresh dynamic to the team
- Prefers staying at Tottenham but may consider moving if playing time is limited
If West Ham secures a deal, Bissouma could be a key signing for their upcoming season.
