"He is someone with good technical ability on the ball, and has good experience at a relatively young age, after playing regularly in a competitive French league for the past two seasons," Brighton manager Chris Hughton told the club website https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com.

Bissouma is Brighton's sixth signing in the current window as the Seagulls aim to improve on their 15th-placed league finish from last season.
