Tottenham have not given up on their pursuit of Andreas Schjelderup despite Benfica manager Marco Silva insisting that the winger is not available for transfer this summer.
Schjelderup has emerged as one of the most exciting players in the current Norway squad and has continued to impress for both club and country in recent seasons. His performances have attracted interest from several clubs, with Tottenham among those hoping to secure his signature.
Tottenham continue pursuit of Schjelderup
Benfica are reluctant to lose the winger as they consider him an important part of their squad. Silva views Schjelderup as a key player in his plans as the Portuguese club aims to compete for the league title this season.
The winger is regarded as one of the leading talents at Benfica, and the club would expect to receive a significant fee if they eventually decide to sanction his departure. However, Tottenham could face difficulties in their attempts to complete a deal.
According to Sport Witness, Tottenham are determined to add Schjelderup to their squad and are continuing discussions with Benfica over a potential transfer. The report claims that the player has already been influenced by Tottenham’s interest and is open to making the move.
Spurs hope for a breakthrough
Tottenham are expected to continue their efforts to find an agreement, with Schjelderup reportedly willing to push for a transfer if necessary. However, Benfica may resist any pressure unless Spurs present an offer that matches their valuation of the winger.
The situation leaves Tottenham needing to convince Benfica to reconsider their stance while also proving that they are serious about completing the signing. With the player’s future attracting attention, negotiations could become increasingly important as the transfer window progresses.
Should Tottenham succeed in securing Schjelderup, they would add one of Norway’s most promising attacking talents to their squad. However, Benfica’s determination to retain him means the Premier League side may need to make a substantial effort to turn their interest into a completed deal.
