Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made contact with the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen's central defender Edmond Tapsoba about a potential summer transfer.
The Burkina Faso international has impressed in the Bundesliga, showcasing the quality that could see him thrive in the Premier League. Both English clubs are keen to bolster their defensive options, and Tapsoba is seen as a strong candidate to strengthen their backlines.
At 27 years old, Tapsoba is considered to be at the prime of his career, making this summer an opportune moment for him to seek a new challenge. A move to England would present an exciting prospect, with Manchester United, a global powerhouse competing in the Champions League, potentially offering him a key role.
While Manchester United could benefit from Tapsoba's defensive solidity and composure on the ball, his potential move to Tottenham might be less straightforward. Spurs have recently acquired Jan Paul van Hecke as a replacement for Cristian Romero, meaning Tapsoba might not be an immediate starter in North London.
Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly seeking a fee of €50 million for the sought-after defender. It remains to be seen if either Manchester United or Tottenham will meet this valuation and secure the signing of the highly-rated centre-back.
