Tottenham and Newcastle Target Edmond Tapsoba

Burkinabe defender Edmund Tapsoba, a player for Bayer Leverkusen, has emerged as one of the main defensive targets for both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United during the current summer transfer window.

According to reports, both clubs are keeping an eye on the situation of the 27-year-old defender, with communication ongoing with the player's representatives to discuss the possibility of a move to the Premier League.

Bayer Leverkusen is holding firm on Tapsoba, who is under contract with the club until 2031. However, reports suggest that the German club may be willing to consider offers in the region of €50 million.

Tapsoba is a key element in Bayer Leverkusen's defense, and he has significant international experience with the Burkina Faso national team, making him an attractive target for clubs looking to bolster their backline.

The competition for the Burkina Faso defender is heating up, with interest from other English clubs, most notably Manchester United, who currently appear to be the most advanced in talks with the player's representatives. Meanwhile, Tottenham and Newcastle continue to monitor his situation.
