Hughton impressed by Spurs signing of Brighton midfielder Bissouma

Former Tottenham and Brighton boss Chris Hughton is happy for Yves Bissouma.

The midfielder left Brighton for Spurs on Thursday.

Hughton told The Sun: "What Spurs have paid - in this day and age to get a midfielder who is a good age going to a top club - it seems very good business to me.

"There is no doubt he is the type of player they are looking for.

"As regards to ability, he has wonderful ability.

"He is a natural player who can take the ball in tight areas and also go past players. I had absolutely no doubt that he would continue to develop but you never know how far."
