Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has completed his Tottenham medical ahead of a £35m move to north London.

Spurs will pay an initial £25m for the Mali international, which will potentially rise to £35m with performance-related add-ons.

Bissouma is understood to have flown into the UK on Wednesday and stayed at the on-site hotel at Tottenham’s training ground.

The 25-year-old only has one year left on his Brighton contract but is now set to sign a long-term deal at Spurs to become Antonio Conte’s third summer signing after goalkeeper Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic joined earlier this month.

Tottenham are looking to make further signings this summer with the club wanting to add as many as three more players, possibly more.

The priorities now are to land a new right wing-back, with Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence a leading target, a new left-footed centre-back, and another versatile forward.

Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton had been among the other clubs interested in signing Bissouma this summer after Brighton had rejected a bid from Aston Villa for Bissouma in the January transfer window.

Tottenham have been watching Bissouma since he played for Lille and he had been on their list of targets to replace Moussa Dembele in 2018.

But Spurs ultimately signed Tanguy Ndombele in a club-record deal from Lyon, while Bissouma joined Brighton for around £15m, where he has shone after making 124 appearances for the Seagulls.

Tottenham head coach Conte was particularly impressed by Bissouma following his performances against Spurs last season.

The club still have hopes of landing at least three other players including a new right wing-back, with Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence a leading target, a new left-footed centre-back, and another versatile forward.
