Tottenham Hotspur’s new manager Ange Postecoglou loves Yves Bissouma after being left impressed by him in training, according to Alasdair Gold.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Gold revealed that Postecoglou has quickly taken a liking to Bissouma and sees him as a key player for the upcoming season.
Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton last season in a £25 million deal, faced a challenging debut season due to injuries and struggles to adapt to former manager Antonio Conte’s tactics.
Conte himself admitted Bissouma’s difficulties in adjusting to his style of play.
However, with Postecoglou now at the helm, Bissouma is expected to have a fresh start and a chance to showcase his abilities.
Gold suggests that Postecoglou’s coaching staff, including Ryan Mason and Matt Wells, also hold Bissouma in high regard.
They are believed to have praised the midfielder’s qualities, which might have influenced Postecoglou’s positive impression of him.
He said on his YouTube channel:
“Even without the international players, you’ve got Hugo Lloris, Yves Bissouma, who [Ange] Postecoglou loves.
“He’s very quickly taken a shine to Bissouma.
“Although to be fair, [Ryan] Mason and [Matt] Wells who are now on his coaching staff really, really liked Bissouma.
“They will no doubt have been extolling his virtues. I think from what I understand Postecoglou’s very quickly seen that he’s a player for me. So hopefully a big season for Bissouma.”
The upcoming season is expected to be big season for Bissouma, who will have the opportunity to prove himself under the guidance of a manager whose system might suit him better than that of Conte.
Gold’s insights indicate that Postecoglou has seen enough potential in Bissouma to believe that he can be a valuable asset to the team.
Tottenham fans will be eagerly anticipating Bissouma’s performances in the new season, hoping that he can overcome his previous setbacks and establish himself as a key player for the club.
