Edmond Tapsoba, 24, is seen as a proper replacement for inured Milan Skriniar, but his price could be an issue...
Bayer Leverkusen's Edmond Tapsoba has been added to Paris Saint-Germain's centre-back shortlist for the January Transfer Window, RMC Sport reports on Thursday.
PSG have been forced into the market for a central defender after Milan Skriniar's severe injury. Following his ankle surgery, the experienced defender is doubtful of returning to the pitch before the end of the season.

Therefore, the Saints are looking for a possible replacement, and the name of the 24-year-old Burkinabe is very high on the list. PSG have €20m to spend on a centre-back this month, but they might face some obstacles in attempts to sign Tapsoba as Bayer Leverkusen apparently wants too much for their centre-back.
Besides Tapsoba, the list of potential PSG targets also includes Leeds United's Diego Llorente, West Ham United's Nayef Aguerd, and Wolfsburg's Maxence Lacroix.
