Spurs want midfielder Bissouma to join them as their third summer signing after Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster arrived on free transfers.

Yves Bissouma of Brighton is close to become Tottenham’s third summer signing. Final terms, including add-ons, are still being worked out, but the midfielder is expected to leave for around £22.5 million.
