Tottenham are in talks with Brighton over a move for midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Spurs are thought to value Bissouma slightly lower with the two sides expected to find a compromise.
The news comes after the 25-year-old left fans of Spurs’ north London rivals dreaming of a swoop for him.
Bissouma shared a post on his Instagram story of a fan suggesting he should quit Brighton for Arsenal and should replace Thomas Partey in their midfield.
Villa meanwhile failed with a bid for the Brighton midfielder last January but retain an interest, with Steven Gerrard keen to add a midfield enforcer this summer.
