Tottenham is presently on the hunt for a new defender, and as per Toby Cudworth’s reports, there might be a couple of high-profile acquisitions in the offing.
In his Talking Transfers Podcast, Cudworth shed light on the continual search of Spurs for fresh defensive strength, revealing that bagging both Micky Van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba isn’t entirely inconceivable.
The prospect of either Van de Ven or Tapsoba joining Spurs has been floated for quite some time, with most believing that a choice would have to be made between the two.
Still, Cudworth hints at the feasible signing of both the players.
Potential Double Deal on the Cards
Cudworth offered interesting insights into Tottenham’s pursuit of fresh defenders.
“Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen as well is under consideration, he has a price tag of around €50m (£45m), while Van de Ven is around €10m less luxurious. Tottenham is open to negotiation with both clubs, and I would not discard the probability of signing both the players. Nonetheless, it would imply a significant infusion of resources into two centre-backs.
“At this time, both Tapsoba and Van de Ven are enthusiastic about the move, but Tottenham continues to liaise with their respective clubs. Also, there may be potential exits from Spurs that could make room for the arrival of both players.”
A Transformative Move
Sealing these two contracts could dramatically modify the Tottenham defense line.
Tottenham’s defensive strategies were deficient last season, and these new, young talents could be the needed change.
Pair two new players with a different goalkeeper, and Tottenham’s defense could metamorphose entirely. For a while, such profound restructuring has, frankly, been due.
