Yves Bissouma joins Ajax on free transfer from Tottenham | OneFootball

Yves Bissouma has joined Ajax on a free transfer after leaving Tottenham, with the deal taking immediate effect. Ajax said in a statement that the 30-year-old has signed a contract until 30 June 2027.

The Mali international heads to Amsterdam seeking to reignite a career that faded during a turbulent final spell in North London. He made only 11 appearances last season and served a high-profile suspension two years ago after social media footage appeared to show him using nitrous oxide.

A former Brighton midfielder, Bissouma arrives with a clear sense of purpose. He expressed delight at joining one of Europe’s storied clubs and was convinced by the project set out to him before the move.

He regards himself as a winner who wants to challenge for everything and is ready to start. The midfielder also embraces responsibility in a youthful squad, aiming to share guidance and make himself approachable to team-mates.

Ajax view the recruitment as a targeted effort to add bite in midfield. Talks with Bissouma began in August after months of monitoring, and the club value his experience and versatility.

They hope to have him available for selection as soon as possible.
