Premier League outfit Newcastle United are reportedly prioritizing a move for Burkina Faso international Edmond Tapsoba as they look to bolster their defense in the upcoming transfer window.
The 25-year-old central defender, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen, is seen as a key target due to his impressive attributes, including speed, strength, and playmaking ability.
These qualities align well with manager Eddie Howe’s vision for a squad that aims to compete at the highest levels in both the Premier League and European competitions.
However, securing Tapsoba may prove challenging for Newcastle. Bayer Leverkusen is expected to set a high asking price for the defender, and interest from other top clubs, such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham, could complicate matters.
These clubs are also keen on strengthening their own defenses, intensifying the competition for Tapsoba’s signature.
To successfully land the Burkina Faso international, Newcastle will need to demonstrate determination and financial commitment.
