Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United are now being linked with Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba.
90min are reporting that both Newcastle United and Manchester United are being kept informed about the situation of Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in talks with Bayer over the signing of the 24-year-old Burkina Faso international centre-back, but Premier League rivals Newcastle and Manchester United “have been informed of Tapsoba’s situation”, according to the report.
The Magpies and the Red Devils are reportedly on the hunt for a new centre-back this summer.
Could Newcastle United or Manchester United sign Edmond Tapsoba?
In our opinion, Newcastle United or Manchester United could be able to sign Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window.
True, Tottenham Hotspur are already in talks over the defender, but that the Magpies and the Red Devils have been informed about his situation suggests that he could still make the move to St. James’ Park or Old Trafford.
After all, Bayer will sell the centre-back to whichever club pay the most money.
Although Tottenham are a big club, Newcastle and Manchester United will play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
And Erik ten Hag’s side will also be determined to challenge for the Premier League title in the coming years.
