‘He’s a bit different,’ says Fabio Paratici of Tottenham Hotspur’s player.

Fabio Paratici discussed the club’s summer transfer business and the signing of Yves Bissouma in a video posted on Tottenham’s Twitter page.

Bissouma was one of Tottenham’s biggest summer signings, arriving in a much-anticipated £25 million move from Brighton and Hove Albion.

When Bissouma arrived, there was a lot of excitement among the fans, but he has yet to make an impact in north London.

Paratici has made it clear that adapting to this Antonio Conte team isn’t easy to adapt to, and the Italian was also honest when saying that Bissouma needs to adapt to the style of play within this side.

The Sporting Director stated that Bissouma is unlike any of the other midfielders within the Spurs team, claiming that he may need some time to adapt to his new surroundings.

WHAT’S BEEN SAID?

Paratici spoke about Bissouma.

“Bissouma has some different skills to our midfielders, he’s more one vs one, technically speaking and he can even shoot from different. He’s a bit different with the skills and he has to enter in our mechanism because the team now is well organized, super organized, so coming in is not easy for the players and they need a bit of time to adapt,” Paratici said.

UNIQUE PLAYER

Yves Bissouma is an incredibly unique player who is being asked to play in an incredibly unique system.

Can it work? Of course, it can, Bissouma is one of the Premier League’s most talented footballers and Antonio Conte is one of the best coaches in the world, but this isn’t something that is going to gel straight away.

Conte has managed to coach players who didn’t immediately seem like a good fit for his system in the past – just look at how Christian Eriksen got on at Inter Milan, and now he’ll have to do a similar job with Bissouma.
