Yves Bissouma was spotted squaring up to Conor Gallagher following Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat to Chelsea on Monday evening.

In a video posted on , Bissouma can be seen clashing with Gallagher right after the full-time whistle. 

Tottenham suffered their first defeat of the Premier League campaign after a chaotic 90 minutes in North London.

Chelsea ran out 4-1 winners thanks to a late Nicolas Jackson hat-trick after initially struggling to find a breakthrough against a Tottenham side reduced to nine men. 

Both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off by the 55th minute but Spurs put in a spirited display.

Bissouma completed the full 90 minutes and angered Tottenham target Gallagher after the game.

Gallagher offered his hand out to Bissouma after the full-time whistle but the Spurs midfielder refused to shake his hand.

The Chelsea star reacted furiously to Bissouma snubbing him as he grabbed hold of his arm.

Bissouma then turned around and squared up to the Englishman before Marc Cucurella and Oliver Skipp intervened.

Of course, Gallagher was heavily linked with a move to Spurs over the summer.

Tottenham even launched a deadline day bid to sign the Englishman but failed to move on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg so they couldn’t press ahead with the deal.

The man has enjoyed a promising start to the season at Chelsea after initial concerns over how much game time he would get following their heavy spending over the summer.

But the 23-year-old has impressed under Mauricio Pochettino so far and it remains unclear whether his long-term future lies in West London.

Nevertheless, it would be interesting if he did eventually complete a move to Spurs given his confrontation with Bissouma after the game.
