"Now, let's talk central defenders. Those likely to dominate transfer talk heading in 2026 are the big three potential Bosman free transfers in the shape of Marc Guehi, Ibrahima Konate, and Dayot Upamecano. But there are others we need to look at including Edmond Tapsoba , who was so close to joining Tottenham Hotspur when they were chasing him and Micky van de Ven, but they opted for the Dutchman."
"Keep an eye on Tapsoba - he's having a very good season again with Bayer Leverkusen. Last summer, they lost Jonathan Tah, so they weren't going to let him go too but he is one to watch in the New Year. The Premier League is a likely destination, and we'll have updates soon on which clubs are focusing on him."
Edmond Tapsoba, 26, has been at Bayer Leverkusen since 2020 and is established as a Bundesliga centre-back. Transfer attention for 2026 will focus on several potential Bosman free agents, notably Marc Guehi, Ibrahima Konate, and Dayot Upamecano. Other defenders to monitor include Tapsoba, who was close to joining Tottenham Hotspur when they pursued him alongside Micky van de Ven but ultimately signed the Dutchman. Tapsoba is enjoying a strong season with Leverkusen. Leverkusen lost Jonathan Tah last summer and are unlikely to let another central defender go easily. The Premier League is a probable destination and clubs are expected to follow him.
