Tottenham’s transfer activity has been somewhat quiet recently.
Spurs started the summer with a bang, bringing in Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, and Manor Solomon, but there hasn’t been much activity since then.
There has been a lot of focus on outgoings, with Harry Kane’s future still uncertain, but there is also a focus on new signings going on behind the scenes.
Indeed, according to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are still in talks to recruit Edmond Tapsoba, and the journalist claims that Tapsoba is at the top of Spurs’ list of objectives.
The £45 million man is undoubtedly a target for Tottenham, and he would be an excellent addition to this club.
Tapsoba may be exactly what the doctor ordered in Tottenham. As a strong, smart, and composed center-back, he has the potential to transform Tottenham’s defense.
Tapsoba, on the other hand, may not be enough to propel Spurs back into or near the top four.
Understand Tottenham are still in talks for Edmond Tapsoba. Deal remains not easy but Spurs are still actively working on that one. 🚨⚪️ #THFC

Let’s not mince words: the Spurs’ defense was abysmal last season, and they need a complete overhaul rather than simply one high-profile signing.
Of course, signing Tapsoba would be a step in the right direction, but Tottenham need to take giant leaps this summer rather than tiny steps, particularly in defense.
Tapsoba is Tottenham’s top target this summer, so he’s worth keeping an eye on, but he shouldn’t be Tottenham’s only defensive addition this summer.
