Edmond Tapsoba is Leverkusen’s Platinum Engine and a cornerstone of the club’s most decorated era. With six major trophies already secured during his tenure in Germany, including a historic domestic double, the Burkina Faso international has evolved into one of the most reliable and physically imposing defenders in European football.

His influence on the pitch is total, acting as a MAGNET for the ball with a remarkable 96 touches per 90 minutes. While his primary role is defensive, a Shooting score of 73 stands out as his strongest tactical dimension, proving he is far more than a traditional stopper. Having played 1,316 minutes, he is maintaining a consistent level of performance, providing the technical Balance required for Leverkusen's high-intensity system.
