Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has just become the victim of the most shocking bank fraud in Premier League history: a jaw-dropping £834,334.40 wiped clean from his ultra-secure Coutts account (the royal bank for billionaires, queens, and A-listers)! Instead of staying silent like most stars, Bissouma reported it over a year ago, triggering a nationwide manhunt for the mastermind Maurice Gomes, 31. And now… the fraudster has VANISHED into thin air!

It all began in September 2022, just months after Bissouma joined Spurs from Brighton for £25 million. Mysterious transactions started draining his account: hundreds of thousands vanishing into random accounts without his knowledge. The Mali international, earning £50k a week, first thought it was a glitch. But when the dust settled, a stomach-churning £834K had been siphoned off over 21 months!

The villain? Maurice Gomes, a 31-year-old from Enfield, North London, accused of “fraudulently” transferring the cash to himself “for personal enrichment.” Prosecutors say Gomes pulled off two massive scams using fake representations, and Bissouma had zero clue. Gomes was arrested over a year ago, but only charged in October 2025 with two counts of “fraud by false representation” – each carrying up to 10 years in prison!

Then the real drama exploded today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court: Gomes FAILED TO APPEAR! The judge issued an immediate arrest warrant. Prosecutor Shabtay van Thijn demanded: “Issue the warrant now!” Metropolitan Police confirmed Gomes received his summons by post on October 10… and promptly disappeared!

A source close to Bissouma told The Sun: “This is devastating for Yves. It’s been a nightmare year – robbed of a £255K watch in Cannes back in June, maced in the face, and now nearly £1 million gone! It’s hanging over his head, affecting his entire career. Bissouma hasn’t played a single minute in the 2025-26 season, frozen out by manager Thomas Frank for late pre-season reporting, and now he has to testify in court!”

Spurs fans on X went ballistic. #JusticeForBissouma rocketed to global #1 trending in just two hours, overtaking even “Trump 2024.” One fan raged: “Bissouma victimized twice – robbed of money AND a starting spot! Gomes, come out here, I’ll repay that £834K with my fists!” Arsenal trolls chimed in: “Spurs lost Europa League last season, now Bissouma loses £834K. Levy deducting it from wages?” Man United fans consoled: “Biss, come to Old Trafford – Amorim will give you a free haircut to forget the pain!”

But the TERRIFYING secret? No one knows HOW Gomes got in! How does an ordinary guy breach Coutts – the bank Queen Elizabeth used? Rumors swirl that Gomes was an “insider contact” or used hyper-sophisticated phishing. Coutts refused comment, only stating “client confidentiality is paramount.” Police are combing CCTV, bank logs, everything.

Bissouma, 29, the midfield beast who dominated Spurs’ Europa League triumph last year, is currently sidelined after surgery. He posted an Instagram story from his hospital bed: “Everything happens for a reason. I follow God’s plan.” But insiders say he’s shattered: “Yves thought Coutts was bulletproof. Now he trusts no one. He’s considering suing the bank for lax security!”

The scandal is shaking the Premier League. Stars like Son Heung-min, Maddison, even Haaland are double-checking accounts. A celebrity financial advisor warned: “Young, suddenly rich players are prime targets. Sophisticated bank scams are exploding – fake emails, clone apps, or ‘friends’ who get too close!”

Gomes is now Britain’s most wanted fraudster. His photo is everywhere: round face, short hair, smug grin. Arrest warrant issued – anyone spotting Gomes should call police immediately; reward could hit £10K!

Tottenham declined comment, but boss Thomas Frank said pre-United clash: “The whole squad stands with Yves. He’s a warrior – he’ll come back stronger.” Meanwhile, Gomes faces 20 years plus full restitution if caught.

This isn’t just lost money – it’s lost trust. Bissouma went from dirt-poor kid in Mali to Premier League millionaire… only to be cleaned out of a year’s salary. But fans believe: “Biss will return stronger than ever. Gomes, you’re finished!”

UPDATE: Just four hours after court, #FindGomes is trending worldwide with 5 million tweets. Someone posted a fake “Gomes spotted in Ibiza” pic – went mega-viral!
