Yves Bissouma has sparked a wave of speculation after removing every Tottenham-related post from his Instagram account. The midfielder, who has more than 800,000 followers, deleted match clips, team photos, training shots, and even the celebrations from Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.
The only thing left connecting him to the club is the short line in his bio that still describes him as a football player for Tottenham and Mali. Everything else tied to his time in North London has disappeared, and fans immediately noticed.
The timing of this move has raised even more questions because Bissouma has already been linked with a transfer away from Spurs.
Reports suggest that he is pushing for an exit and has attracted interest from several leagues, including the Turkish Super Lig, with clubs like Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe monitoring him.
There is also talk of interest from Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Portugal. Tottenham had been expected to discuss a contract extension to avoid losing him for free in 2026, but this sudden social media wipe hints that the midfielder might already be looking toward the door.
His frustration with the situation at the club has been an open secret. Bissouma has barely featured this season, and many around the club believe he’s unhappy with his lack of playing time.
On top of that, he has been recovering from ankle surgery since October 2025 and has not been part of Thomas Frank’s immediate plans. When you combine injury setbacks with limited opportunities, it becomes clearer why the midfielder may feel disconnected from the squad. Some reports even claim that a winter move is now more likely than ever.
This is not the first time his off-field life has created headlines. Over the past three seasons, Bissouma has missed 84 games for Spurs due to injuries, suspensions, and disciplinary problems. His career at Tottenham has been full of stops and starts.
The 2024 “laughing gas” incident created a huge controversy, and repeated lateness to team activities led to further punishment. These issues even resulted in him being left out of the 2025 UEFA Super Cup squad against PSG, a moment many fans saw as the beginning of his decline at the club.
Bissouma’s social media activity has always been expressive, and this isn’t the first time he has used his accounts to send a message. He did something similar when he left Brighton for Tottenham in 2022, and again in 2024 when he fell out with Mali’s national team coaches.
So this latest wipeout naturally feels like a signal, even though his X account remains unchanged and he has said nothing publicly about the deletions.
If this is his final chapter at Tottenham, Bissouma’s time will be remembered with mixed feelings. He reached 100 appearances for Spurs, scored two goals, and won a Europa League medal.
For some fans, he will be remembered as a player with flair, confidence, and personality someone who looked like he could become a cult figure. For others, he became a symbol of wasted potential, a player who never fully delivered because of injuries, suspensions, and off-field problems that overshadowed his ability.
Supporters once believed he would dominate the Premier League. When he arrived from Brighton, he looked like a midfielder built for the top level strong, technical, and fearless. Many thought he would explode into one of the league’s most reliable players.
But things never clicked consistently. Moments of brilliance were too often followed by long periods of absence or controversy. In the end, he struggled to match the concentration and consistency needed at the highest level.
With Bissouma now 29, the window to rebuild his career at an elite club is narrowing. If he does leave in January, this may be his last chance to revive what once looked like a very promising path.
Tottenham fans will wait for Thomas Frank’s next press conference for clarity, but after wiping away his entire Spurs history online, the midfielder may have already made his intentions clear.
