The print edition of SportBILD (12/07/23 – as relayed by Sport Witness) has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are expected to make an offer of €40m (£34.1m) for Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Edmond Tapsoba.
Despite some reports over the past week indicating that Tottenham are close to striking a deal with Wolfsburg for Micky Van de Ven (The Athletic), it has been reiterated by other sources, including Fabrizio Romano that Taposba remains Spurs’ top target for the left centre-back role (CaughtOffside).

A couple of days ago, we relayed an update from RMC Sport journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who claimed that the Burkina Faso international’s representatives travelled to London over the weekend to discuss a transfer with Tottenham officials.
The journalist added that talks had been ‘constructive’ and were ‘progressing significantly’.
Tottenham to launch opening offer for Tapsoba
SportBILD have now explained that Tottenham are yet to launch an offer for Taposba and Leverkusen are hoping that a bid does not arrive from the North London club.
However, it is alleged that an offer from Spurs ‘will come’ soon, with Agne Postecoglou’s men willing to bid €40m (£34.1m) for the centre-back.
The report adds that even though the Bundesliga club do not wish to let the 24-year-old leave, they might be forced to do so since the player wants to make the switch to Tottenham.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham have clearly not given up on their pursuit of Taposba just yet. If the club had decided that the Leverkusen star was beyond their reach, they would have already finalised an agreement for Van de Ven.
The fact that they have not done so suggests that they believe they still stand a chance of winning the race for the 24-year-old.
