Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen pursue French-Ivorian Axel Tape-Kobrissa amid contract uncertainty

Paris Saint-Germain’s teenage prospect Axel Tape-Kobrissa has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Bayer Leverkusen as he weighs his future at the club.

The 17-year-old midfielder, who made his senior debut in January, is yet to sign a professional contract with PSG and is reportedly considering his options due to concerns over limited first-team opportunities.

Born in Bondy, France, Tape-Kobrissa has Ivorian heritage and has represented France at the U18 level.

He joined PSG’s academy in 2020 and progressed through the youth ranks, making his first-team debut in a Coupe de France match against FC Espaly on January 15, 2025.

Despite his promising development, the club’s high-profile signings have raised doubts about his pathway to regular senior appearances.

According to RMC Sport, both Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen are monitoring Tape-Kobrissa’s situation closely.

The reigning Bundesliga champions are reportedly leading the race for his signature, though no final decision has been made by the player.

Tape-Kobrissa remains open to a move to the Premier League, with Spurs keen to bolster their midfield options with young talent.
