Perez, a Danish analyst, has stated that having too many players in the squad can create management issues and lead to discontent among players. "You can't have all players playing," he said in an interview with ESPN. This sentiment comes as Bissouma is set to join Ajax, with Fabrizio Romano previously confirming the transfer. The Malian midfielder was already present at Ajax's match against Willem II on Tuesday evening.
Perez's comments highlight the challenges that come with expanding a squad, particularly when it involves players with complex pasts. Bissouma has faced criticism for his behavior during his time at Tottenham Hotspur, including allegations of using laughing gas. However, Perez believes that everyone deserves a second chance, suggesting that Bissouma's past mistakes should not necessarily define his future at Ajax.
