Tottenham transfer roundup: Yves Bissouma completes medical, Harry Kane contract

Sports Mole rounds up the latest Tottenham Hotspur transfer news, including an update on Yves Bissouma's move and a possible new contract for Harry Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur have wasted no time in getting down to business this summer, with Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic already walking through the doors at Hotspur Way.

Antonio Conte is expected to oversee a wealth of new incomings to prepare for Spurs' return to the Champions League, and a third signing could be announced imminently.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest Tottenham transfer news, including updates on Yves Bissouma, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.

Months after North London rivals Arsenal were tipped to sign Brighton & Hove Albion's Yves Bissouma, it now appears that Tottenham will get their man.

The Mali international is thought to be heading to the Lilywhites for an initial £25m fee, which could rise to £35m with add-ons, and he travelled to Hotspur Way earlier this week for his medical.

According to Sky Sports News, Bissouma has now passed his medical with the Lilywhites after staying at Tottenham's training ground hotel following his return from international duty.

Bissouma is now poised to sign a long-term deal at Tottenham, and official confirmation of the 25-year-old's arrival should come within the next couple of days.

The former Lille man was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in Brighton last year before being released, and the police investigation is still ongoing.


Spurs want new Harry Kane contract until 2027

Harry Kane was seemingly set to end his lengthy spell at Tottenham Hotspur last summer, but there is now increasing optimism that the England captain could stay for the long term.

Kane will turn 29 without having won a major team trophy, and his existing Spurs deal only has two years left to run, but Tottenham are determined to tie him down for longer.

According to TuttoMercato, Tottenham want Kane to pen a three-year extension in North London, which would commit him to the club until the end of the 2026-27 season.

Kane has previously hinted that he would be prepared to stay at Tottenham so long as Antonio Conte was in charge, and the Italian will remain in North London for at least one more year.

Kane was linked with both Manchester City and Manchester United last year, but the Red Devils failed to qualify for the Champions League, and the champions instead elected to sign Erling Braut Haaland and Julian Alvarez.

Christian Eriksen reunion?

Many feared that Christian Eriksen would not take to the football pitch again after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, but less than a year later, the Denmark man shone back in the Premier League.

Eriksen scored one goal and provided four assists in 11 Premier League appearances last season, but his Brentford contract expires at the end of the month, and speculation over his next career move is rife.

Manchester United are thought to be in the hunt for his services, but according to the Daily Mail, Tottenham have made contact with the 30-year-old's representatives over a summer return.

The Denmark international previously spent six-and-a-half years in North London, scoring 69 goals and setting up 90 more in 304 matches before signing for Inter Milan in January 2020.

Eriksen worked under current Spurs boss Conte during his time at San Siro but only registered eight goals and three assists in 60 games for Inter Milan during a difficult spell.
