A Spurs star could be facing the axe after being filmed committing a crime which he previously apologised for.
Spurs returned to winning ways on Saturday, with Thomas Frank leading his team to a 2-0 win over former side Brentford thanks to first half goals from Richarlison and Xavi Simons.
The result relieved some pressure on Frank after a difficult run but the club have been in the headlines for the wrong reasons due to a player who has not played any minutes this season.
According to The Sun, the club have launched an internal investing after midfielder Yves Bissouma was filmed inhaling inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon.

The footage is believed to be taken from a party which Bissouma attended in London during the early hours of November 3 and was sent to a a female friend who he invited to join him.
The Mali international has been caught up in an identical situation previously and issued an apology after being suspended in August 2024.
“I want to apologise for these videos," the 29-year-old said at the time.
“This was a severe lack of judgment. I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved.
“I also take my responsibilities as a footballer and a role model very seriously.”
Bissouma inhaled illegal drug
With potential to cause health issues such as brain disorders, depression, memory loss, hallucinations and nerve damage, the use of nitrous oxide was made illegal in 2023 in the UK.
Now a class C drug, supplying it can lead to criminal penalties such as years in prison.
After the first instance, which saw him face disciplinary action by his club, Bissouma ended up playing 44 times last season and had a key role in their historic Europa League final triumph of Manchester United.
But his 2025/26 campaign got off to the worst possible start when he was left of out the squad for the Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain for being late on a regular basis.
He was also left out of Frank's squad for the Champions League and an ankle injury suffered on international duty in October has played a part in him failing to feature at all in the Premier League.
Bissouma was sent to the FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence in Qatar as part of his road to recovery.
A £30 million signing from Brighton in 2022, his contract is due to expire in June but Spurs do have the option to extend the deal for another year.
