# Tottenham: Sky Sports share big Bissouma news live on TV

**Sky Sports News have shared some major transfer news for [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) supporters in the last 48 hours involving their pursuit of Yves Bissouma.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs set for busy summer…

Spurs manager Antonio Conte, after sealing his side’s place in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) top four last season, securing the riches of Champions League football, is now setting his sights on this summer’s transfer market.

Indeed, the Lilywhites have already confirmed the signings of both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on Bosman deals and we’re only a week into the window’s opening.

Links have emerged to [many more potential additions](https://twitter.com/RudyGaletti/status/1536625129693884417) in this last week alone and Spurs supporters could be set for a rather exciting two months before next season’s commencement.

### The Latest: Sky Sports confirm Spurs have won the race

News broke earlier this week that the Lilywhites are eyeing a deal for Brighton and Hove Albion star Bissouma ([Football.London](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/pau-torres-spence-mckennie-paqueta-24191212)).

They weren’t alone, facing competition from [Arsenal](https://football-talk.co.uk/171012/arsenal-close-to-signing-brighton-midfielder-yves-bissouma/) and [West Ham United](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/brighton-have-offered-yves-bissouma-to-west-ham/), while [Aston Villa](https://www.givemesport.com/88009539-aston-villa-gerrard-could-bring-phenomenal-31-5m-star-to-villa-park) also showed an interest last month.

Sharing news on live TV, Sky Sports (via [Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1536636717020729345)) have in the last 48 hours shared a major update coming out of north London – Spurs have got their man.

According to their information, ‘it is understood’ that Tottenham have ‘agreed’ a deal worth around ‘£25 million’ to sign Bissouma.

Sky add that it looks like the Mali international is ‘going to be joining’ both Perisic and Forster at Hotspur Way as Conte closes in on a third summer signing.

### The Verdict: Fantastic business…

£25m for a player of Bissouma’s ilk is nothing short of a brilliant piece of business.

According to [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/211/Show/England-Brighton) the 25-year-old finished 21/22 as Brighton’s best-performing regular by average match rating whilst totalling their highest number of successful challenges and interceptions made per 90.

Proven in England’s top flight and a robust tackler in front of the back four, Conte may well be about to welcome a major upgrade at a bargain price thanks to his contract situation.

This feels like the first major piece of business following the shrewd captures of Perisic and Forster.
