Report: Tottenham have one major concern about Edmond Tapsoba talks

90 min claim that Tottenham Hotspur are making progress in talks to sign Edmond Tapsoba but the North London club are also aware that the Bayer Leverkusen centre-back is on the radar of several other Premier League clubs.

The report states that Spurs are now on the hunt to strengthen their backline and have already begun laying the groundwork for a deal to sign Taposba.

It is explained that the 24-year-old first caught the eye of Tottenham’s scouts during their visits to Germany to run the rule over his teammate Piero Hincapie.

Tottenham are aware of rival interest in Tapsoba

It is alleged that Ange Postecoglou’s men have already started making progress on a deal for Tapsoba, who has expressed his keenness in moving to N17.

However, 90 min add that Spurs are aware that they are not the only club who have their eyes on the Burkina Faso international.

Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are allegedly being kept informed of Tapsoba’s situation, which Spurs are said to be wary of.

Taposoba seems to tick every box for Postecoglou as he is strong in duals, reads the game very well, has the technical ability and bravery to handle the ball in tight situations, and has the mobility to play in a high line.

This could be an exceptional signing if we pull it off but I would be extremely surprised if the deal is not hotly contested.

Let us hope that we can steal a march on our rivals and conclude a deal quickly just as we have seemingly done with Vicario.
