Mali International Yves Bissouma who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League is not enjoying a great time lately. He first contacted Malaria during his national duty in January during the African Cup of Nations. He missed the end of the 2023-24 season with Tottenham after suffering a knee injury, including the crucial game against Manchester City, which ended up being a title decider of City. As he recovers from injury, Bissouma faces a setback again as he had his £260,000 watch stolen after muggers sprayed tear gas in his face outside a five-star hotel in France. Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid Transfer News: French Star’s Move to Los Blancos To Be Announced on Monday (Report).

According to the report, as soon as Bissouma came out of his car, two hooded men attacked him outside the Majestic Barriere hotel. The former Brighton star told police he tried to take refuge inside the five-star property, but its doors were locked.
