Edmond Tapsoba

[Arsenal Tone]

Should have signed him instead of White

who? lol

Ben White is a centre back who can also play right back and defensive midfield. We signed him from Brighton, paying 50m for him. I'd never heard of him either.

So are you saying you have done some detailed analysis of the 2 players and can conclude one is better than the other for the needs Arsenal FC have identified?
I must admit I know nothing about Tapsoba, but I did know Ben White as one the best defenders in the PL last year.

I honestly hadn't heard of either, but both were regulars for their teams last season and one is said to be a 'footballing' centre back who isn't very good in the air and the other is 6'4 and said to be a beast. Guess which one I wanted?

The latter was about half the price too, meaning more money could be spent on other positions.

Arsenal are readying an approach for Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba, reports FootballTransfers.

The Gunners are in the market for another centre-half and are willing to splash out €50 million (£43m/$50m) on a 23-year-old Burkina Faso international.

but why?

To replace Saliba or Gabriel, of one of them leave.

Pointless unless Saliba refuses new deal, we can get someone much cheaper who is a huge upgrade on Holding but content not to start every game.
