# Virals: Liverpool reportedly reach ‘agreement’ to sign Yves Bissouma

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/27/virals-erling-haaland-open-to-sensational-liverpool-transfer/) have reportedly reached an ‘agreement’ to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder [Yves Bissouma](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/23/paul-robinson-tips-liverpool-to-pursue-central-midfield-option/).

The Reds have long since been [linked](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/media-watch/441870-liverpool-make-late-approach-to-sign-yves-bissouma) with a move for the Mali international and could make their interest concrete in upcoming transfer windows.

Jurgen Klopp opted against making wholesale additions to the squad over the summer, despite [calls for a Gini Wijnaldum replacement](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-unexpected-transfer-gini-wijnaldum-20940942) at a minimum.

Now a report from Spanish outlet [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/liverpool-tiene-cerrado-primer-refuerzo-yves-bissouma-2022-20210924.html), as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1442039342243983360) on Twitter, has claimed that the Anfield club could already have acted on their admiration in the 25-year-old.

The report claims that Liverpool will land the [18 times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/nationalmannschaft/spieler/410425/verein_id/3674) ace for a fee in the region of £30million in the January window.

This season the combative midfielder has earned an impressive [7.18 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yves-bissouma/844842) from five Premier League appearances and could be about to steer the Seagulls to the top of the table, usurping the Reds.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing Bissouma would be a huge mid-season boost to Klopp’s [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team).

Already [without Thiago and Naby Keita](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/444559-klopp-offers-further-update-on-thiago-and-keita-fitness) for unspecified periods, as well as the long-term absence of Harvey Elliott, the Reds do look to be short on midfield options.

Bissouma hasn’t missed a single game through injury [since 2018/19](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/verletzungen/spieler/410425) and would represent the ideal replacement for Wijnaldum – as well as providing a welcome addition for the business end of this season.

Valued at £22.5million and under contract until 2023 on the South Coast ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/marktwertverlauf/spieler/410425)), landing the Malian for the mooted £30million would represent superb value for money and could be feasible given the dwindling deal.
