Gary Lineker has expressed his admiration of Tottenham Hotspur and Mali international defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma on Twitter.
Yves Bissouma has been playing well for Tottenham Hotspur this season, and it seems that the defensive midfielder has taken his form to the international scene with Mali.
Mali star Yves Bissouma playing well for Tottenham Hotspur
Bissouma did not have a particularly great debut campaign for Tottenham last season.
There were injury issues, and Spurs head coach Antonio Conte also did not play the 27-year-old regularly when he was fit and available.
Bissouma moved to Tottenham from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 2022.
The defensive midfielder made 10 starts and 13 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs last season.
The Mali international also made three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for the North London club last campaign.
Bissouma has played in all four of Tottenham’s Premier League matches so far this season.

The £86,000-a-week (SalarySport) star’s performances have been widely praised.
And former Tottenham striker Gary Lineker was impressed by a piece of skill that Bissouma showcased while playing for Mali.
Mali beat South Sudan 4-0 in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday.
Bissouma provided a wonderful assist for Nene Dorgeles’s goal.
As you can see, it was really breathtaking.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
