Syndicated reporting provided by Stats Perform and reviewed by the SoccerNews editorial team.

Ajax have announced the signing of midfielder Yves Bissouma on a free transfer.

Bissouma has signed a one-year deal with the Eredivisie club, who reportedly have an option to extend for a further 12 months.

The 30-year-old has been without a club since the end of June, when his contract at Tottenham expired.

Bissouma made 111 appearances for Spurs since signing from Brighton in 2022, scoring twice and lifting the Europa League during his time in north London.

He saw his minutes reduced last season, making just 11 appearances, seven of which were starts, as Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League.

Bissouma will now look to help Ajax win the Eredivisie title for the first time since 2021-22.

“We have brought in an experienced player who knows what it takes to perform at the highest level,” Ajax technical director Jordi Cruyff told the club website.

“He is capable of playing in several positions, and we hope he will be available for selection as soon as possible.”

Bissouma could make his Ajax debut when they host Excelsior on Saturday.
