Tottenham Hotspur are looking for a new defender this summer and have been linked with bids for Bundesliga duo Micky van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba.
Spurs have began the Ange Postecoglou era, and things are already looking brighter. Fans are thrilled to see offensive football return to the club after many years, and the acquisitions of Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison have only added to the enthusiasm.
The spotlight is now on centre-backs, and Football London has the latest on Van de Ven and Tapsoba.
Tottenham consider Edmond Tapsoba to be a more’ready-made’ alternative than Micky van de Ven.
Tottenham should be commended for the transactions they have already accomplished.
They needed an improvement in goal to replace Hugo Lloris, and they’ve found one in Vicario. They have one of the finest offensive midfielders in the country in Maddison, and he’s a fantastic purchase.
Tottenham now primarily needs to shore up their defense, and a report yesterday indicated that they are only likely to recruit one of Edmond Tapsoba or Micky van de Ven.
Spurs believe the Bayer Leverkusen player is a’more ready-made addition for Postecoglou’s defense’ because to his ‘ability on the ball, strength, and quickness’.
According to the article, Tapsoba will be far more expensive than Van de Ven, costing close to £50 million.
Tapsoba’s contract at Bayer Leverkusen is set to expire in three years.
Tapsoba and Van de Ven are both extremely excellent players with tremendous potential, but if Spurs could only sign one, we would choose the Bayer Leverkusen defender.
The Burkina Faso international has more senior experience than the Wolfsburg player, having played over 200 senior games for club and country.
He is a terrific player, described as a ‘strong and super-quick defender’ by the official Bundesliga website.
Tapsoba‘s appraisal, on the other hand, will make him more costly than Maddison. That may persuade Levy to sign Van de Ven instead, despite the fact that he isn’t quite on the same level as their other main defensive target.
