Benfica eye 19-year-old England winger, could cost millions | OneFootball

Sindre Walle Egeli, a 19-year-old winger, is attracting the attention of several European clubs. Among the interested parties is Benfica, which is closely following the player who currently represents Ipswich Town. Ajax is also in the race.

The information was reported by the Dutch publication Voetbal Primeur. The two clubs are currently the best positioned to try to secure the signing of the young Norwegian footballer who plays in the English second division.

Left-footed and with offensive characteristics, the athlete is described as a technically skilled player with a good ability to disrupt the attack. The athlete has a stature similar to Andreas Schjelderup (who was praised by Valdo), measuring about 1.82 meters, and both coincided at Nordsjaelland during the 2023/24 season.

Before heading to English football, the player was also associated with other clubs in the Netherlands, such as PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord. However, he ended up opting for a transfer to Ipswich Town for around 20 million euros last summer.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, with the English club, Sindre Walle Egeli - valued at 18 million euros - has participated in 25 matches.
