Yves Bissouma Summer Transfer Odds

Last season's Premier League champions Liverpool, are the current favourites to sign Yves Bissouma from the Sussex club. A tough season has entailed so far for Jurgen Klopp’s men, who have failed to replicate their success from last season and no doubt they will be in the transfer market for new faces.

With the Reds looking set to lose hard-working midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum this summer when his contract expires, they will be looking to replace the Dutchman to solidify their midfield ahead of next season. Wijnaldum has been heavily linked with a move away to Barcelona, who could be joining up with Dutch compatriot Ronald Koeman.

Bissouma’s hard work rate and ability to off-load the ball quickly would seemingly make him a great fit for Jurgen Klopp’s high-pressing style of football and with his similarities to the departing Wijnaldum, Bissouma is just 2/1 to join Liverpool this summer and this looks his most likely option.

Another side who have failed to meet expectations this season are Arsenal, who have also been heavily linked with the Brighton midfielder.

Ex-Arsenal legend Ian Wright was quoted stating Bissouma would be the ideal player to partner Thomas Partey in Arsenal’s midfield next season, and although they spent £50m on Partey last time out, it's unlikely they'll do so again.

The Gunners have suffered a hugely disappointing campaign so far this season and currently find themselves ninth in the Premier League. If they put in a good run for the end of the season in the league, Arteta’s men may be able to salvage European football for next season, but their best chance is in winning the Europa League.

They do, however, have a serious chance to secure Champions League football next season, with them being second-favourites to win Europa League. The attraction of European football may eventually be the deciding factor in whether Bissouma makes a move to Arsenal, and he has been priced at 3/1 to complete a transfer to the Gunners.

After a stand-out performance in Brighton’s recent 0-0 draw with Everton in the Premier League, the next team to be linked with Bissouma is Carlo Ancelloti’s side.
With the unfortunate injuries that Ivory Coast midfielder Jean-Phillipe Gbamin has suffered in his last two years at the club, Everton may decide they wish to get more coverage in the defensive midfield role.
The Toffees did bring in two centre midfielders last summer in Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure, and also already have the likes of Andre Gomes and Tom Davies who can play in the middle. But they may still wish to bring in more quality in-depth, as well as more energy, which Bissouma would bring. He is 10/1 to join Everton.

Manchester United is the next club that is rumoured to be showing interest in the Mali international.

Paul Pogba is being heavily linked with a move away from the Red Devils, with the previous club Juventus rumoured to be heavily interested in the French midfielder, as are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. United may be looking to bring in a quality centre midfielder this summer as a replacement for Pogba, and Bissouma could be the man at a relatively cheaper price than those of a more star-studded name.

Bissouma may also bring more quality in depth to the United midfield, with Fred often coming under heavy criticism at Old Trafford, whilst the future of Donny van de Beek remains unclear.

Bissouma is 12/1 to join the Red Devils this summer.

The final club that is currently rumoured to be showing interest in Bissouma is Tottenham Hotspur. The Brighton centre midfielder put in a standout performance when they played Spurs in January, in which he stood out against an in-form Tanguay Ndombele and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, proving he can do it against the bigger clubs.

With a new manager expected to join Spurs in the summer with Ryan Mason dropping back into the assistant roles, the door is likely to be open for new signings to come in and make an impact at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

Bissouma is currently 12/1 to join Tottenham Hotspur over the summer, and like United, all this really remains on how generous the club is going to be following the drastic amounts of money lost in the European Super League clash.
