Arsenal are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba this summer.

The talented centre back is emerging as a key option for the Premier League runners up.

The 24-year-old Burkina Faso star has long stated his desire to play for a top club.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has opened up about the situation regarding Tapsoba.

He stated to GIVEMESPORT: “For Tapsoba, it's about scouting. It's a player they know very well, and they had him on their list already one and two years ago, so he's always been a player monitored by Arsenal.

"They sent their scouts multiple times to follow the player in the Europa League, so he's a player they appreciate."
