5) Yves Bissouma (Tottenham)

The Spurs star can be rather rash with his tackling at times.

This campaign, Bissouma has racked up 1.42 fouls per 90, which is not as bad as others in our top five but he does, more often than not, get himself in trouble with the referee.

The Malian international has picked up seven yellow cards and two red cards since the beginning of the season.



As a holding midfielder, though, it is inevitable that Bissouma will make more challenges than most, but Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou would probably be hoping that he can be more precise with his interventions in future.
