  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  There is no mention of how much Spurs are set to demand for the Mali international, but his contract expires next year. As a result, Fenerbahce may be seeking a cut-price deal as they attempt to strengthen their squad. Bissouma has already reportedly agreed personal terms.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Bissouma was a key player for Ange Postecoglou's side last season as the club managed to win the Europa League, finally ending a 17-year trophy drought. He has clocked 100 appearances exactly for the club.
