Fabrizio Romano reveals Spurs summer transfer target is set to sign long-term contract
Tottenham Hotspur might have say goodbye to any hopes they had of signing Edmond Tapsoba for the time being, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that the centre-back is expected to sign a new long-term contract with Bayer Leverkusen.
Even if Micky van de Ven’s summer transfer from Wolfsburg strengthened Spurs’ defense, some supporters will believe that the team might have done more to improve its alternatives in central defense.
If the North Londoners had been able to offload Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez, who are both in the final year of their contracts in N17, respectively, they might have been able to bring in one more center-back.
Tapsoba (GiveMeSport) was one of several defenders who apparently caught the Lilywhites’ attention, but the 24-year-old is likely to commit his long-term career to the Bundesliga club.
New contract for Tapsoba
Spurs may need to reconsider their plans if they had any intention of renewing their interest in the Burkina Faso international in January now that Romano has disclosed that the player has reached an agreement on a long-term contract with the Bay Arena.
Taposoba, who was wanted by both Tottenham and Manchester United this summer, is reportedly about to sign a deal that will keep him with the club through June 2028, according to the writer.
