Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea showing interest?
Chelsea could make a summer move for Tapsoba, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
One of Chelsea's priorities for the summer will be to strengthen the defensive line, and a move for Tapsoba looks likely since he's a player that manager Xabi Alonso knows extremely well. The Blues would have to break the bank to sign the Burkina Faso international, though, as he's not available for a transfer right now.
