Tottenham Show Interest in 17-Goal, Assist Winger from World Cup

Tottenham Show Interest in 17-Goal, Assist Winger from World Cup

Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks to sign Benfica attacker Andreas Schjelderup during the summer transfer window.

The Norwegian forward enjoyed a standout World Cup, helping his nation reach the quarter-finals with a series of influential performances.

At club level, Schjelderup has also impressed in Portugal, recording 17 goal contributions for Benfica last season.

Spurs are seeking a new left-sided winger or forward, and the 22-year-old fits that profile for both country and club.

Tottenham have struggled to break down organised defences and require greater cutting edge in the final third.

Schjelderup would offer goals, creativity, pace, and flair, addressing a clear tactical need in the squad.

A move to the Premier League would represent a career step up, potentially making the proposition appealing to the player.

Tottenham have already strengthened this window with signings including Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Andy Robertson, and Marcos Senesi.

Whether the club can finalise a deal for Schjelderup before the window closes remains uncertain.
