Fabrizio Romano reveals that signing Edmond Tapsoba is a priority for Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are determined to bolster their defensive ranks this summer, and one player who has caught their attention is Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba.
According to the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the talented defender is high on Tottenham’s wishlist, and the club has even dispatched scouts to monitor his performances closely.
During an episode of his popular podcast, Here We Go, Romano disclosed that Edmond Tapsoba holds a coveted spot as a priority target for Tottenham. The club are keen on making a deal happen for him.
The Lilywhites firmly believe that Tapsoba possesses all the attributes necessary to thrive in the demanding environment of the Premier League. It is not just his defensive prowess that has caught their eye; they also admire his leadership qualities, recognizing the impact he can have on and off the pitch.
According to Romano’s insights, it seems Tottenham’s fondness for Tapsoba is genuine, and they may be prepared to meet Bayer Leverkusen’s reported asking price. Although the figure stands at around £45 million, a hefty sum indeed, the North London club appears undeterred by the price tag.
Speaking about the situation, here is what Romano had to say about the talented defender
“I keep saying that Tapsoba is a priority target because they [Spurs] love Tapsoba. Tottenham scouts have been there many times this year to follow Tapsoba. So, he is a player they really love and they feel is perfect for Premier League football. He is a leader. So, there are many factors in a deal and Tottenham think he is a fantastic option”
The allure of joining a club like Tottenham, combined with the opportunity to ply his trade in the esteemed Premier League, could prove too enticing for Tapsoba to resist. It is undoubtedly an exciting prospect for any player to test their mettle against the best in English football, and the Burkina Faso international would relish such a challenge.
While the price tag may seem steep at first glance, it is important to remember that Tapsoba is still at a relatively young age, with ample room for growth and improvement. As he gains more experience, his potential to become an elite defender becomes increasingly evident.
