Tottenham ‘very very close’ to landing another summer signing, offer already made
Tottenham are reportedly closing in on the signing of Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 24-year-old Burkina Faso international will be Tottenham’s second summer acquisition after Guglielmo Vicario, who was acquired from Empoli, according to a Daily Star story.
The North London juggernauts are’very close’ to signing him, according to reports that a £25 million proposal is on the table.
The 24-year-old defender’s career would take an exciting new turn if he joined the Premier League, and he undoubtedly looks forward to the opportunity to play in England.
Tottenham obviously needed to add defensive reinforcements, and the 24-year-old should turn out to be a good long-term investment.
Tapsoba has demonstrated a high level of proficiency in the Bundesliga, and he is capable of excelling in the Premier League as well.
Along with his defensive skills, the 24-year-old will provide Tottenham’s defense some much-needed pace. Tapsoba’s quick recovery rate may be quite helpful for Tottenham given the new manager’s preference for playing progressive football.
The 24-year-old is still very inexperienced, and with time and guidance, he will probably get better. In the upcoming seasons, he might grow into a crucial member of Tottenham’s team.
If the Bundesliga defender is able to make an immediate impact in the Premier League, the rumored £25 million transfer fee would seem like a steal.
Cristian Romero has been the only quality defender at the club in recent seasons and Tapsoba is likely to partner him at the heart of the defence.
Club has ‘started negotiations’ with Spurs star’s agent regarding summer move
Tottenham signed Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan on a free transfer last summer.
The Croatian winger, 34, made a significant impact in the Premier League but is predicted to leave this summer.
The winger might be going to Fenerbahce, claims Turkish publication Takvim. The Turkish team has’started negotiations’ after getting in touch with the player’s representation. They will also need to come to an agreement with Spurs.
The Croatian’s hiring by the north London club was made possible in large part by former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, who was fired by the Premier League team months earlier.
Even though Perisic has a contract with Tottenham that runs through the summer of 2024, it wouldn’t be unexpected if he wanted to leave the team this summer.
The 34-year-old’s exit will undoubtedly make Spurs a weaker team because last season, he contributed 12 assists and a goal across all competitions. The Croatian international can play in wingback and winger positions.
It will be intriguing to see if Tottenham can find a suitable replacement for him this summer.
The problem will increase if Perisic is replaced because Spurs already need to add reinforcements to every area of the field.
The player’s return to Inter Milan has recently been mentioned. Where he ends up will be intriguing to see.
Despite being 34, he has shown that he is capable of performing at a high level. He could be a useful acquisition for Fenerbahce if they manage to pull it off.
