Yves Bissouma is facing further disciplinary action after Tottenham opened an investigation into allegations he inhaled nitrous oxide for a second time.

Currently sidelined after ankle surgery in October, Bissouma could feel the wrath of the Premier League club again after he was allegedly filmed inhaling nitrous oxide - widely known as laughing gas.

To compound matters for Mali international Bissouma, this is the second time in two seasons he has been embroiled in a nitrous oxide controversy.

Former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou handed out a one-match ban to Bissouma at the start of the 2024-25 campaign after he was filmed inhaling laughing gas.

Bissouma subsequently apologised for a "severe lack of judgement", but a report in The Sun on Saturday showed footage of the midfielder being caught on camera again inhaling nitrous oxide in November.

Nitrous oxide was made a Class C drug in 2023 as part of the UK government's anti-social behaviour action plan and possession of it for recreational use is an offence.

A Tottenham spokesman told PA: "We are looking into the events and it will be dealt with as an internal matter."

Former Brighton midfielder Bissouma last played for Spurs on May 25 against his old club - days after he started the club's Europa League success over Manchester United in Bilbao.

The 29-year-old has also deleted all references to Tottenham on his official Instagram account, raising further doubt about his future at the club.
