Tottenham Hotspur supporters are certain that the North London club have already found the ideal replacement for Yves Bissouma.

Bissouma’s future at Tottenham is in doubt with Ange Postecoglou re♍portedly ready to sell t🌸he midfielder in the summer.

On several occasions this season, Bissouma’s performances have been questioned and it’s becoming increasingly🍸 clear that Spurs need to find a replacement for him.

The Lilywhites potentially have a new midfielder incoming next term and this player has very recently produced a stellar display against Real Madrid.

Tottenham fans rave about Johnny Cardoso vs Real Madrid

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been raving about the performance of Johnny Cardoso after the midfi𝐆elder really impress🐠ed against Real Madrid.

Real Betis secured a shock 2-1 win over Los Blancos with the US international also gettin🥃g on the scoresheet as he headed ho♏me from a corner.

Tottenham have a £21m option on Cardoso for next summer having agreed the deal when selling⛦ Giovani Lo Celso 𓂃back to the Spanish club.

Spurs supporters are now keen for the 23-year-🐠old to be the long-term successor to Bissouma and have taken to X to share their thoughts.

One supporter claimed: “They surely activate the Cardoso option, he’s had a great season for £20m and could rotate in the number six with Gray. Could probably sell 2 of Bentancur, Sa✅rr and Bissouma.”

“If Spurs exercise their option to buy Johnny Cardoso a Be🐼rgvall and Johnny could be a dyꦡnamite midfield pairing,” added another fan.

There was yet more praise🌟 for Cardoso: “Johnny Cardoso is everything we need in a defensive midfielder, he sits in front of his back two to help them defend, tec🐈hnically brilliant and a tempo setter.”

After the win over Madrid, a Betis supporter claimed: “He destroyed the midfield of Atletico Madrid and now Real Madrid’s, Johnny Cardoso is one of the best midfielders in Europe. It’ไs a shame that Tottenham wi⛦ll probably exercise their purchase option this summer.”

Johnny Cardoso’s impressive stats vs Real Madrid

The Betis midfiel♒der was superb in the number six role as he caused Madrid plenty of issues at both ends of the pitch.

His composure when under pressure from the European champions was🔯 very impressive and he certainly looks like he could be a strong upgrade f🐻or Postecoglou’s midfield.
