According to Mike Verweij, a reporter for the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Yves Bissouma has arrived in Amsterdam and is undergoing a medical examination with Ajax. The midfielder will sign a contract until mid-2027, with a one-year extension option.

Earlier this summer, African media had reported Ajax's interest in Bissouma, but the Amsterdam club had not actively pursued it. Now, two weeks after the transfer deadline, Bissouma has yet to find a new club, and Ajax is willing to give it a try.

The defensive midfielder became a free agent after leaving Tottenham Hotspur, having made 111 appearances for the club. Spurs signed him from Brighton four years ago for €30 million.

Tottenham Hotspur decided not to renew Bissouma's contract after he shared a video on Snapchat in August 2024 showing him inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon. Tottenham suspended the midfielder before their match against Leicester City. Bissouma later apologized, calling it "a serious error in judgment." Ajax is now hoping to give him a second chance.

This summer, Ajax has brought in a number of players at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Amrabat, Blind, Godfrey, Thorlens, and Brandt all joined on free transfers. Tolu, Kehrer, Ter Stegen, and Adingra were all brought in on loan, and Ajax also paid transfer fees for Tsygankov, Caio Henrique, and Marcos Leonardo, amounting to €3 million, €10 million, and €20 million respectively.
