Juventus keen to sign released Tottenham star to replace Locatelli
Yves Bissouma is one of several midfield free agents who could contribute to Juventus ' success this season, with the midfielder now available for a transfer this summer.
The Bianconeri have a void in midfield and will be doing their best to ensure they fill it with a good player in the coming weeks, but finding the right option is proving difficult at the moment.

They do not want to sign just any player and may be forced to enter the market for more than one midfielder if they suffer another injury in that position.
Juve are an outstanding team, but no side can survive too many injuries, and they are now considering adding Bissouma to their squad as he searches for his next club.
Bissouma emerges as an option
Tottenham released him at the end of last season, and he is being tipped to move to Serie A, where Lazio are also interested in adding him to their squad.
Tuttomercatoweb claims the Bianconeri have been thinking internally about the Malian midfielder, who enjoyed some very good moments in the Premier League before leaving Tottenham.

Juventus face midfield concerns
However, there could be some concerns about his readiness. Bissouma did not play much for Spurs last season and has already missed pre-season, meaning he could need time to regain his sharpness and adapt to a new environment.
Juventus therefore have a decision to make as they assess the available midfielders. They need to strengthen the position, but they also want to avoid making a move simply for the sake of adding another player.

Bissouma remains an option under consideration, and his experience could prove useful if Juventus decide to bring him to Serie A. With their midfield situation already presenting difficulties, the Bianconeri will need to carefully assess whether he can provide the contribution they require.
