"Image source, Getty Images Tottenham say they are looking into claims that midfielder Yves Bissouma was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide. The Sun published footage which it alleged showed the 29-year-old Mali international inhaling the substance, also known as laughing gas or NOS. "We are looking into the events and it will be dealt with as an internal matter," a club spokesperson told BBC Sport."
"Bissouma, a 30m signing from Brighton in 2022, was banned for one game by Spurs after being pictured inhaling nitrous oxide in 2023. He apologised, saying he displayed a "severe lack of judgement". Possession of nitrous oxide for recreational use has been a criminal offence in the UK since 2023 and can result in a two-year prison sentence. Bissouma, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has not played since Thomas Frank was appointed manager in June."
