Newcastle United target Edmond Tapsoba has insisted he is fully focused on playing for Bayer Leverkusen this season.
The Magpies are keen to land a new centre-back before the transfer window closes and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is their top target.
Plans are also being made though in the event that they cannot sign Guehi, with alternative targets being looked at.
It has been claimed that Newcastle have spoken to Leverkusen about a possible deal for Tapsoba to move to St James’ Park.
