Fabrizio Romano: The financial package could help Tottenham decide between Tapsoba and Van de Ven
Tottenham Hotspur remains determined to bolster their defensive line and have set their sights on the talented Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven.
According to the renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 24-year-old Leverkusen defender is still a priority for the London club. The outcome of ongoing negotiations between the two clubs will determine whether Tapsoba makes the move to North London.
However, it is no secret that a transfer fee could prove to be a stumbling block, as Leverkusen is likely to demand a premium for their prized asset. With Tottenham in dire need of defensive reinforcements, Tapsoba’s arrival could inject much-needed quality into their backline.
The club has also been linked with other potential signings such as Tosin Adarabioyo and Micky van de Ven, adding an element of intrigue as to who the eventual addition will be.
The recent appointment of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s new manager places additional emphasis on strengthening the defensive department. The Australian tactician must prioritize securing a reliable partner for Cristian Romero.
Last season, the performances of Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez left much to be desired, prompting the need for an upgrade. Edmond Tapsoba, with his established reputation in the Bundesliga, could prove to be the solution that Tottenham craves.
A move to the Premier League would signify a significant step forward in his career, and the Burkina Faso international will undoubtedly be eager to showcase his abilities on English soil.
Postecoglou’s track record of extracting the best from his players gives further hope that the 24-year-old can fulfil his potential and flourish as a reliable Premier League defender in the coming seasons.
