Tottenham Hotspur are allegedly on alert as Manchester United shows interest in the signing of Edmond Tapsoba in the upcoming summer.

Currently, Tottenham’s main focus in the transfer window lies with the centre-backs. As emphasised by Ange Postecoglou, the team is ideally looking for two new players in that position.

Both Micky van de Ven and Tapsoba have been associated with potential transfers. Yet the interest of clubs like Manchester United in Tapsoba is reportedly heightening the concerns within the Spurs camp, as per 90min.

Tottenham is Worried Manchester United Might Also Sign Edmond Tapsoba

Over the past few weeks, there have been increasing rumours linking Edmond Tapsoba with a possible switch to Tottenham.

The 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen ace exhibited splendid performance in the Bundesliga for the last two years, indicating he would be a remarkable asset for Spurs.

According to Football London, acquiring Tapsoba might cost up to £50 million, making him the priciest player for Spurs in this transfer window, should they manage to secure him.

However, ‘increasing rival interest’ from clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle United, as suggested by 90min, is causing ‘concern’ at Tottenham regarding Tapsoba’s signing.

Given Tottenham’s higher need for a centre-back compared to the other three Premier League clubs, it provides them with the motivation to finalize the deal swiftly.

But, Daniel Levy’s approval for such a hefty move, especially after spending a considerable amount on James Maddison, remains uncertain due to Leverkusen’s significant asking price.

Opinions from TBR:

Tottenham’s swift acquisitions of Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison in the transfer window deserve applause as it significantly strengthens the team.

Nonetheless, the task is not yet completed.

Securing two new central defenders is a priority for both Spurs and Ange Postecoglou, and Tapsoba fits the team’s requirements perfectly.

If Levy wants to make a significant statement, he must endeavour to outsmart Manchester United and other teams to secure Tapsoba’s signing this summer.
