The European football transfer window is now open until September 1, signaling a period of intense activity for clubs aiming to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season. Among the developing stories, former Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has been training with Fulham.
Bissouma, 29, is currently a free agent after his contract with Tottenham expired this summer. Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa is reportedly assessing potential reinforcements for several positions and is taking a look at Bissouma. However, as of now, there are no immediate plans for the club to offer him a contract.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth is reportedly advancing in talks to secure the signing of Benfica defender Antonio Silva. The 22-year-old Portuguese international is in the final year of his contract with Benfica and has reportedly rejected new offers from the club. Reports indicate that Bournemouth and Benfica have been discussing a transfer fee in the region of £17 million, plus potential add-ons.
Silva has attracted interest from multiple English clubs in recent years and has earned 20 caps for Portugal. Bournemouth had also previously shown interest in Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo, but he is now understood to be joining Leeds United.
