When Tapsoba signed a contract extension through to 2028 with the 2023/24 season barely underway, Leverkusen’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, said, “Edmond is one of the best central defenders in the Bundesliga, he has the potential to establish himself at the very top of the game.” Over the remainder of Leverkusen’s historic campaign, he would prove Rolfes right.
The Burkina Faso international, who missed three games due to the Africa Cup of Nations, was a key member of Leverkusen’s three-man backline, using his speed (clocked fastest at 21.1mph) and controlled aggression (winning 60 per cent of his duels) to provide the team with a platform on which they triumphed so memorably.
