My Take
Edmond Tapsoba is the kind of defender I love to watch precisely because he rarely makes headlines. Anchoring Bayer Leverkusen's backline as a Burkinabé centre-back in the Bundesliga is no small feat, and what strikes me is his composure for someone born in 1999. The centre-back role is the most cerebral on the pitch, reading danger and organising those around you, and he plays it with a calm authority beyond his years. Carrying his national team's hopes too, he feels like a player whose reputation should be much louder than it currently is.
