Tottenham midfielder Bissouma: I've made mistakes this season

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has admitted that he has made mistakes this term.

The 27-year-old has not always been available to manager Ange Postecoglou.

The African Cup of Nations and suspensions have caused him to lose some of the early season momentum he had in the team.

"This season started really good. Then after we were restricted because of a lot of injuries and suspensions, things like that put us in a difficult position. Sometimes I make mistakes, because I'm not perfect and still learning, so I know there's more to come, but I'm happy and enjoying this role in the team," Bissouma said in an interview in Spurs' matchday programme.

"I have to enjoy this moment and make the most of it as it's where I'm fully in control, where I feel strong and feel like myself. I feel free, so I'm enjoying my moment but, in the end, I don't want to have any regrets so I always fight to feel good."

"I take full responsibility when it's time to work to change things. Like when I was injured at the end of last season, I was already preparing for this one," he added.

"For me, personally, when Ange came in, he told me exactly what he wants from me and my role in the team. I'm just listening and working hard to perform in the way he wants me to and I'm really happy to work with him and the group."
