Levante in final talks to sign Axel Tape on loan

Levante is close to finalizing a new signing from Bayer Leverkusen. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the club is negotiating the last points of the deal for Axel Tape to arrive in Valencia on loan.

According to the information cited by the outlet, Tape would be a 19-year-old French centre-back who can also play as a defensive midfielder. The player belongs to Leverkusen and has already made eight appearances for the German side. He joined the Bundesliga outfit from Paris Saint-Germain.

Arrival still pending

The plan outlined in the article was for Tape to travel this Saturday to València to undergo the medical tests and then sign with Levante. The agreement would run until the end of the season, the report adds.

What’s left

At this stage, the operation is still described as being in the “last details” phase, so the final confirmation and the outcome of the medical exams will determine whether the move is officially completed. Once it is, Levante will add a young option with recent experience in Germany to strengthen its defensive plans for the rest of the campaign.
