Scout report
Y. Bissouma is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Tottenham, rated 45.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 320th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bissouma.
Judged on this season alone, Bissouma graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.463 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 45th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Bissouma is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bissouma missed 22 games through injury (ankle, international duty, wound) out of roughly 38 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tottenham finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.3, Bissouma carries the 45th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
