Yves Bissouma closing in on free transfer to European giants after Chelsea were offered ex-Spurs ace as Enzo replacement

FREE agent Yves Bissouma is set for an Ajax transfer after his contract with Tottenham expired.

The European giants are reportedly considering rolling the dice on the 30-year-old, who boasts 202 Premier League appearances across eight seasons.

A one-year deal is on the cards, according to De Telegraaf, with a further option of another year after his medical was completed on Tuesday.

The Eredivisie side have been searching for another free-agent opportunity, having previously indicated their interest in the ace.

It was a busy summer for Ajax, who counted 11 signings, including free transfers for midfielders Sofyan Amrabat and Julian Brandt.

And they are still searching for methods to strengthen the midfield, according to technical director Jordi Cruyff.

He was then caught again with laughing gas in late December, so Ajax may have to keep a shorter leash on Bissouma than their predecessors.

The star joined the North London outfit in 2022 following a blockbuster £25.7million move from Brighton.

Making a whopping 111 appearances in a Spurs shirt, Bissouma scored twice and helped the side secure the 2025 Europa League title.

Bissouma was even offered to Prem rivals Chelsea by intermediaries after the West London side failed to lock down an Enzo Fernandez replacement late in the window.
