According to Portuguese media, Benfica have gone to great lengths to persuade their new attacking star to stay, but Andreas Schjelderup has turned his gaze outwards, especially towards the Premier League. Now there are reports of the first push to bring the 22-year-old to the ball island.

It is Tottenham who are on the offensive. The London club has so far been the winner in the transfer market of the Premier League clubs, an Andreas Schjelderup signing would reinforce this.

According to reports via Bola na Rede , Tottenham have made the first bid to sign the Norwegian World Cup hero, with €45 million plus €10 million in add-ons.

There is not much difference in the negotiations, because according to the Portuguese media, the Portuguese want 50 million euros in fixed price, the rest bonuses.

We let the English Caughtoffisde draw the analysis of Tottenham’s advance:

“Schjelderup is highly regarded throughout Europe, and there is no doubt that he could prove to be a top acquisition for the north London club. They need more striker in the final third and the 22-year-old will help them improve going forward. He can help create opportunities for his teammates and also find goals.”
