Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to prioritize a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Burkina Faso international\u00a0Edmond Tapsoba\u00a0over Fulham central defender of Nigerian descent Tosin Adarabioyo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tapsoba\u00a0has seen his stock rise since the conclusion of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, where he was named in the official Team of the Tournament by the\u00a0Confederation of African Football.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the top central defenders in the Bundesliga last season, Tapsoba\u00a0is heavily tipped to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer as Tottenham Hotspur have started concrete contacts to negotiate a possible deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Italian transfer market expert, Fabrizio Romano, Tosin\u00a0is one of the options being monitored by Tottenham as new centre-back, but Tapsoba\u00a0is the top candidate and talks will take place in the next few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u00a0Hotspur are in the market for new central defenders following the return of\u00a0Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet\u00a0to his parent club Barcelona, and in view of the possible departures of\u00a0Davinson S\u00e1nchez and Japhet Tanganga<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tosin\u00a0has decided to leave Fulham\u00a0this summer and with a year\u00a0left on his contract, the Cottagers\u00a0could be forced to sell him\u00a0in this transfer window\u00a0or risk losing him for nothing in a year’s time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since joining\u00a0Fulham three years ago, the Manchester City academy product has appeared in 58 matches in the Premier League, scoring one goal.<\/p>\n
