Premier League player Yves Bissouma sold his car after the same speed camera caught him breaking the 30mph limit fives times.

The Brighton and Hove Albion star - who is a summer transfer target for Man Utd and Liverpool - was flashed five times in six weeks, twice on the same night, by the camera nearest his seafront home.

Malian midfielder Bissouma, who was also banned for six months in 2019, was told he cannot drive for 12 months.

Bissouma, who lives in Brighton Marina, admitted five counts of speeding in his Mercedes SUV and was also fined a total of £3,970.

Magistrates in Crawley heard the 24-year-old sold his Mercedes in February after admitting the offences.

Bissouma was clocked breaking the 30mph limit on September 23, October 21, October 30 and twice on November 2, 2020.

All but one of his speeding offences were in the early hours between midnight and 4.30am, never going faster than 49mph.

Mark Haslam appeared on behalf of the player.

"This is speeding at a relatively low level," he said.

"The criminality is the number of offences.

"There are no aggravating features, other than the speeding itself and the frequency.

"You will be pleased to know, he has sold his car.

"For what it's worth, he has not driven since February."

Mr Haslam said Bissouma admitted he had behaved foolishly.

"He's chosen not to drive for several months.

"It will be a long time before he ever drives again in this country, if he ever drives in this country again."

Chair Dr Dorte Reid said: "It's good to hear he's not driving.

"We are very keen he should know about that.

"It's a very serious matter."

Bissouma was fined the maximum £1,000 for each offence, reduced to £666 for his early plea.

He was ordered to pay £450 costs and the maximum £190 victim surcharge.

Mr Haslam asked for 28 days for the fines to be paid in full.
