Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in signing the Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba at the end of the season.
According to TBR football, multiple Premier League clubs are keen on the 26-year-old defender who helped Leverkusen win the title last season.
Apparently, Tottenham tried to sign the player in 2023, but they ended up signing Micky van de Ven instead.
Has shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and he could be a quality addition to the Tottenham defensive unit as well. Tottenham have struggled at the back this season due to persistent injury problems and the lack of depth. Signing the 26-year-old could prove to be a wise decision. He is a proven performer at the highest level, and he could improve at the back. He has been described as a player with ‘incredible composure, speed, strength’.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him as well. He has shown his quality in Germany, and he could be open to trying out a new challenge at this stage of his career.
Leverkusen do not want to sell Edmond Tapsoba
However, the report from TBR football claims that Leverkusen do not want to sell the 26-year-old central defender. Jonathan Tah will leave the club on a free transfer, and Piero Hincapie has been linked with an exit as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the German club to let Tapsoba leave with a lucrative proposal.
Furthermore, the competition for his signature could be another major issue as well. While the defender is valued at £46 million, clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle are keen on securing his signature. The last thing Tottenham would need is a bidding war for his services.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham defender Cristian Romeo has been linked with an exit in the summer, and Tapsoba could be a quality replacement.
