Ajax Amsterdam have set their sights on Yves Bissouma, according to De Telegraaf. The Malian midfielder has become a free agent after leaving Tottenham, and the Dutch club sees an opportunity to secure an experienced addition without paying a transfer fee.
Jordi Cruyff reportedly supports the move, although Ajax face strong competition from several clubs across Europe’s top five leagues.
Bissouma could bring valuable experience and quality to the Ajax midfield after spells with Lille, Brighton and Tottenham. The Mali international has also built a strong reputation at international level and could become another major addition for the Dutch side. His potential arrival would further underline Ajax’s ambitious transfer window, which has already brought Marcos Leonardo, Viktor Tsygankov, Sofyan Amrabat and Marc-André ter Stegen to Amsterdam.
Ajax now face a race against several European clubs to convince Bissouma to choose the Netherlands. The midfielder’s free-agent status makes him an attractive option, while his experience in the Premier League and Ligue 1 could strengthen a squad that has already undergone significant recruitment this summer.
