Tottenham close in on signing £30m Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma with talks underway as Antonio Conte plans a midfield upgrade

Tottenham are in talks with Brighton over a move for midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Bissouma has just one year left on his contract at the Amex and Brighton want a fee of around £30m to sanction his sale.

Spurs are thought to value Bissouma slightly lower with the two sides expected to find a compromise.

The news comes after the 25-year-old left fans of Spurs’ north London rivals dreaming of a swoop for him.

Bissouma shared a post on his Instagram story of a fan suggesting he should quit Brighton for Arsenal and should replace Thomas Partey in their midfield.

Villa meanwhile failed with a bid for the Brighton midfielder last January but retain an interest, with Steven Gerrard keen to add a midfield enforcer this summer.
