Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been hailed by one 18-year-old prospect at Hotspur Way.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side have enjoyed a year of progression on the pitch as Spurs look to earn a spot in the top four of the Premier Legaue.
This comes after a dismal season under Antonio Conte which did not even produce any form of European football.
There has also been a lot to get excited about off the pitch with the club revealing they’d made over £500m in revenue in their latest financial report.
However, it was also revealed that chairman Daniel Levy had not only upped his salary by £300k for the year, but he had also awarded himself a £3m bonus.
Bissouma has received praise from a number of people already this week
It has been a turbulent season for the Mali midfielder who started off the campaign in impressive style.
The 27-year-old had a season to forget under Conte, but Postecoglou’s arrival at Hotspur Way looked to have revitalized the midfielder.
However, the red card he picked up against Luton Town earlier in the season really derailed the promising form which he had built up.
Having returned from the Africa Cup of Nations where he had contracted malaria, Bissouma struggled to find his feet again in the Premier League.
His displays even saw journalist Alasdair Gold say the 27-year-old’s display against Wolves was “painful to watch”.
However, his performance against West Ham on Tuesday was seen as a huge improvement by his manager who had some positive words to say.
And now it seems the 18-year-old prospect Tyrese Hall is looking at the midfielder as a player to develop his game around.
Hall has been one of the bright sparks in Tottenham’s academy this season having been promoted to the U21s in recent weeks.
Speaking on Spurs Play, the midfielder has admitted he sees Bissouma as a player who he has a similar play style to.
“Definitely Bissouma [who he’s most similar to]. I feel like the way he plays, like smooth on the ball, getting in and out of tight gaps. So yeah, I’d say Bissouma.”
“I’ve trained with the first team a couple of times. So I’m not sure if he remembers me but hopefully he does.”
Manchester City showing interest in the promising Tyrese Hall
Hall’s rise to the U21s side has been noted this season with the 18-year-old returning six goals and six assists across all competitions this season.
One of those goals came against Manchester City’s U18s side in the FA Youth Cup and it seems he has caught their eye.
According to Football Transfers, City are keeping an eye on the progress of the Spurs youngster after his impressive rise through the ranks this season.
Not a great amount of opportunities have been awarded to the Spurs prospects this season, but Hall certainly seems to be a name to keep an eye on.
