Tottenham signing Yves Bissouma believes he will improve under Antonio Conte.

The Mali midfielder was bought from Brighton over the weekend in a bargain deal worth £25m as he was entering the last year of his contract.

And Bissouma has credited the presence of Conte as part of his motivation to join Spurs.

"We have a good group, and a great coach, everyone knows him," Bissouma said in his first interview with Tottenham's official website. "I know I can pass this step with him.

"I know he will help me more to be what I want to be and try to help the team as well. I'm very happy to play with him."
