West Ham United and Everton are both monitoring the situation of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma due to the uncertainty over his future, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

The Spurs star could leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club this summer, and Hammers manager Graham Potter and his Toffees counterpart David Moyes would love to recruit his services.

The London Stadium club need an enforcer in the middle of the park, and Everton also want to bring one to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank dropped Bissouma from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday because the Malian international was late once too often.

Former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou also once axed him from a matchday squad last year after he was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon.

His disciplinary issues could see the North London club part ways with him, but he prefers to remain in England were he to leave this summer.

West Ham and Everton will be open to having him, but other options could emerge for the former Brighton & Hove Albion star.

Tottenham reportedly would accept anything close to £20 million for the 28-year-old as his contract has less than a year left on it.

AS Roma and Fenerbahce are also keen on Bissouma, with the manager of the Turkish club, Jose Mourinho, a huge admirer of his qualities.

He has been reinstated and will be in the Spurs matchday squad for their Premier League opener against Burnley at home tomorrow, but Joao Palhinha has been signed as his direct replacement.

Frank brought in the Portuguese from Bayern Munich as he wanted a new number 6 and was unconvinced that either Rodrigo Bentancur or Bissouma is perfect for the role.

The chance to cash in on him would appeal to Tottenham instead of losing him for nothing next summer, and an exit could be on the cards.
