Media reports claim that Chelsea are keeping tabs on Edmond Tapsoba, who currently plays as a defender for Leverkusen. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Chelsea have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Man Utd, Liverpool and Tottenham are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Defensively, Chelsea are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.36 goals conceded per game. Someone like Edmond Tapsoba could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Reports suggest Chelsea are monitoring Bernardo Silva, Cristian Romero and Christos Tzolis whereas Leverkusen have not been associated with other players at this stage.
