Edmond Tapsoba has been linked with a move away from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
The Burkina Faso International has done quite well in the Bundesliga, and he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well.
Tapsoba has also been linked with Chelsea.
Edmond Tapsoba could be an ideal defensive addition
According to reports from Fussball Daten, Manchester United and Tottenham are keeping close tabs on the 27-year-old central defender and have been in contact with his representative about a potential move. Both clubs are looking to add more depth to their defensive unit, and the Burkinabe defender could be an ideal fit.
Tapsoba is at the peak of his career right now, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to England will be exciting for him. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be competing in the UEFA Champions League this season. They need to tighten up at the back, and signing the 27-year-old could prove to be a wise decision. He will help them improve defensively, and his composure on the ball could add a new dimension to their playmaking.
On the other hand, Tottenham have already replaced Cristian Romero with Jan Paul van Hecke, and the 27-year-old Bundesliga defender might not be a guaranteed starter for them. The move to Manchester United would be ideal for the player. He could be the ideal replacement for Harry Maguire in the coming seasons.
