Ajax signs free agent midfielder Bissouma after market closure
Ajax has secured Malinese international Yves Bissouma on a free transfer. The 30-year-old midfielder signed a one-year contract with an option for another season, as reported by Fabrizio Romano and De Telegraaf. Although the Dutch transfer window closed on September 3, clubs may still recruit players without contracts. Bissouma previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, joining them in 2022 for €30 million. His tenure ended due to injury and incidents involving laughing gas, leading to a non-renewal. Technical director Jordi Cruijff sought a versatile midfielder, finding Bissouma suitable as both a controller and box-to-box player.
