James Maddison greets Bissouma after the performance against Everton

James Maddison has labeled Yves Bissouma a “ridiculous player” at times after Tottenham’s win against Everton.

Spurs bounced back from a disappointing draw against Leicester on Monday night to record a comfortable 4-0 win with Son Heung-min scoring a brace, while Bissouma and Cristian Romero also found the back of the net.

It’s a big season for Ange Postecoglou’s side as they look to qualify for the Champions League and try to end the club’s trophy drought.

Maddison praises Bissouma

After missing the first game of the season against Leicester due to disciplinary issues, Bissouma returned to the starting line-up and was due to put in an impressive performance for his manager.

The midfielder did just that when he opened the scoring inside the first 15 minutes with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box.

After the game, Maddison was full of praise for the 27-year-old, calling him a “ridiculous player” at times and urging him to keep working hard.

“We all know the ability of Yves (Bissouma), sometimes he is a ridiculous player,” he said. Sky Sports.

“He has a skill that not many have. The gaffer is a great man with good morals. He (Yves) has to keep working hard.

“The performance was there on Monday. It was a case of not letting our chances go. It is important that you try to implement what the manager wants. It’s about trusting him.”

Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022, has two years left on his current contract and is expected to play a key role in the center of the park for Postecoglou this season.
