Newcastle United have expressed a strong interest in securing the services of Bayer Leverkusen's talented defender, Edmond Tapsoba.
According to a recent report by Football Insider, the 24-year-old has also caught the attention of Tottenham Hotspur.
The German outfit are reportedly open to his departure for a fee of approximately £50 million. The question remains whether the Magpies are willing to make such a substantial financial commitment to the player.
Having risen as one of the Bundesliga's most promising defenders, the Burkina Faso international has the potential to excel in the Premier League.
Despite Newcastle boasting one of the league's strong defensive lineups last season, there's room for improvement. Pairing Tapsoba with Sven Botman could provide a solid foundation for their backline moving forward.
Furthermore, with their secured Champions League qualification, Eddie Howe's side present an enticing destination for players seeking a notable platform.
On the other hand, Spurs' financial capabilities are not on par with the Tynesiders, making the latter a more competitive choice for Tapsoba. Given Newcastle's financial prowess as one of the world's wealthiest clubs, funding the £50 million transfer shouldn't pose a major challenge if their interest in the player is genuine.
