Tapsoba is reportedly one of several defensive talents Spurs are looking to sign in the summer.
According to reports, Tottenham have made contact with Barcelona over the possibility of signing Clement Lenglet permanently, having spent this season on loan with the London club.
Since arriving at Leverkusen from Vitoria Guimaraes in 2020, Tapsoba has established himself as a top Bundesliga centre-back.
He has since made 100 appearances in the German top flight for the club. As well, representing Burkina Faso, he was named in the AFCON Team of the Tournament in 2021.
