Spurs investigate Bissouma nitrous oxide claim

Tottenham say they are looking into claims that midfielder Yves Bissouma was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide.

The Sun published footage which it alleged showed the 29-year-old Mali international inhaling the substance, also known as laughing gas or NOS.

“We are looking into the events and it will be dealt with as an internal matter,” a club spokesperson told BBC Sport.

He apologised, saying he displayed a “severe lack of judgement”.

Possession of nitrous oxide for recreational use has been a criminal offence in the UK since 2023 and can result in a two-year prison sentence.

Bissouma, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has not played since Thomas Frank was appointed manager in June.
