Yves Bissouma has spoken out about being the victim of a string of burglaries following his latest controversy.
Earlier this week, Bissouma was filmed allegedly ‘inhaling laughing gas’ at a recent party, which has landed him in hot water.
This is not the first time he has done this, with Bissouma being handed a one-game suspension by Tottenham last year for posting a video of himself inhaling the same substance.
According to reports, the midfielder is facing disciplinary action from Spurs and does not have a future at the club.

The Sun have now revealed that the Tottenham man’s home has been burglarised several times, which has ended up costing him around £1m.
Bissouma admitted the latest incident, which occurred in July, left him a broken man, and he apologised to the Tottenham fans for letting them down with his actions.
The former Brighton player told the outlet: “I am sorry. This [latest break-in] broke something in me I didn’t even know I could break. I apologise to the fans. The trauma added to my life – fear, panic, depression and paranoia.
Addressing the recent allegations, he said: “I feel really bad about it. I have to apologise. When the picture came out it affected me and everyone, especially my family.
“When my Dad saw it, he was panicking because he didn’t feel good. I tried to make him understand that it’s a hard image, but not who I am. I know it’s not good for me, for my image, because I’m a professional football player.”
Bissouma reveals latest burglary has left him traumatised
Back in July, the thieves reportedly stole high-end designer watches and handbags, amongst other items, from Bissouma’s residence.
The 28-year-old confessed that being repeatedly targeted in this manner has left him traumatised and paranoid.
He said: “Look what they did. They came and robbed me. My watches…they robbed my watches. They robbed my jewellery. Like, it’s actually crazy, like. What they did in my room is f***ing…I can’t believe that. I just…Oh my god.
“Look at all of my watches. They took everything. They took my jewellery. They took my bags as well, like, everything. I’m a strong person. I’m a mentally and physically strong African man. I’ve faced battles and storms before, but these incidents…they broke something in me I didn’t even know could break. I’ve asked myself, ‘Why me?’, more times than I can count.
“I hate feeling like a victim, but what I lost wasn’t just material. It was what the trauma added to my life – fear, panic, depression, paranoia, sleepless nights and a constant loss of trust. I don’t want to talk about it [the balloon] anymore because it’s over. But to the fans, I am very sorry.”
