Fabrizio Romano, on his
Here We Go Podcast, claimed that Spurs have now placed the Burkina Faso-born defender as their priority.
“I keep saying that Tapsoba is a priority target because they [Spurs] love Tapsoba. Tottenham's scouts have been there many times this year to follow Tapsoba. So, he is a player they really love, and they feel he is perfect for Premier League football,” Romano said.
“He is a leader. So, there are many factors in a deal and Tottenham think he is a fantastic option.”
Tapsoba, who pockets
£52,000 per week, has two years left on his contract but may be on the move before his Leverkusen contract expires.
What did Rudy Galetti say about Tottenham Hotspur and Edmond Tapsoba?
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, he said:
“On the table, there are around €25m and the German club is concretely evaluating this proposal. Last winter, Woolwich asked them for him but then now they decide to go for Timber, who is close as well.
“So, the Burkina Faso player [Tapsoba], we can say that is one step away from joining Tottenham. In the next few days, they will push and close the deal positively.”
