Bissouma's Double Nitrous Offence Sparks Crisis at Spurs
12 Dec
Summary
- Spurs are investigating new footage of Bissouma inhaling nitrous oxide.
- This is Bissouma's second alleged offence involving the substance.
- Recreational nitrous oxide possession is now a criminal offense in the UK.
Tottenham Hotspur is grappling with a significant off-field issue concerning midfielder Yves Bissouma. The club is currently investigating new footage that allegedly shows the player inhaling nitrous oxide, pushing the situation into a full-blown crisis. This alleged offense marks Bissouma's second involvement with nitrous oxide, having previously apologized in early 2023 for similar actions, which led to a one-game suspension.
The implications are more severe this time, as the recreational possession of nitrous oxide was criminalized across the UK in 2023, carrying potential penalties of up to a two-year prison sentence. Club manager Ange Postecoglou noted the situation is an internal matter under review.
Sources indicate that club officials have run out of patience with Bissouma, especially given past incidents, including lateness attributed to a flat tire and heavy traffic. With this second scandal and a prior club suspension, Tottenham appears poised to sever ties with the player.
