Tottenham are on the verge of signing Edmond Tapsoba after submitting a £25 million bid for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder.
Tottenham are hoping to sign Edmond Tapsoba after submitting a £25 million bid, according to the Daily Star. The 24-year-old defender is said to be keen on joining Spurs, who may have finally found a solid target for their defense after a number of failed attempts to sign other talents.
Tottenham are stepping up their transfer efforts as Ange Postecoglu attempts to bolster his team. Spurs have already signed Dejan Kulusevski on a permanent basis from Juventus, and have also signed Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
They have secured a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris and solved a troublesome position with the latter. They will now shift their focus to bringing a new defender who fits their style. Tottenham have been hunting for a left-sided centre-back since the days of Antonio Conte, and they are now very close to finding one.
Spurs have advanced their pursuit of Burkina Faso centre-back Edmond Tapsoba, who emerged as a prominent target for the club.The 24-year-old defender is ready to join Tottenham this summer in search of a new challenge in his promising career.
According to the source, Tottenham have already made a £25 million approach for the 24-year-old defender. Negotiations between the two parties continue, though it is unclear whether Leverkusen will accept the offered sum, given that they had demanded much more.
Spurs are hoping to sign the defender, despite the fact that Tapsoba was not their first option.They had unsuccessfully pursued Aymeric Laporte, and there are links to other high-profile individuals on their list, including Juventus player Gleison Bremer.
They’ve also been connected with Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo, but the Cottagers likely expect a large amount to let him to leave. As a result, they may have believed Tapsoba was a plausible target and maybe a cheaper one in comparison to their other targets.
Tottenham would hope to complete the transfer soon and then concentrate their efforts on other names for various positions. James Maddison remains a top target, and Jadon Sancho has been linked with a move to the North London club.
Tapsoba’s possible presence could strengthen their defense and solve some of their prior issues. Davinson Sanchez’s future at the club is uncertain, thus they may want to add another centre-back this window.
