Tottenham identify €50m attacker to strengthen forward line | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Benfica attacker Andreas Schjelderup.

The 22-year-old has 15 goals and 15 assists to his name since joining Benfica, and he has impressed at the international level in Norway.

Spurs want to sign Andreas Schjelderup

According to reports from Portugal via Sport Witness, the player will cost €50 million. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price.

They need more quality on the flanks, and the Norwegian International will add peace, flair, and unpredictability. He can create opportunities and score goals. He scored an outstanding solo goal against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

However, the asking price is quite high, and it could complicate any potential move. Tottenham need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and they have already invested significantly in the midfield. €50 million is considered too expensive for an unproven talent.

Other clubs are also interested in the 22-year-old, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. His performance in the World Cup has seen his value skyrocket, and Benfica are unwilling to yield.

Unless the player decides to force an exit, the Portuguese outfit will hold all the cards in the transfer battle.

Spurs could use Schjelderup

Tottenham must improve the attacking unit before the window closes. Adding a quality wide player and a striker should be top priorities. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the necessary additions and turn things around after a disappointing season.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for the Norwegian, and regular game time in England could help him improve further. There is no doubt he will be excited to move to the Premier League if the opportunity presents itself.
