Tottenham Hotspur Are Planning To Move In For This Talented Winger: Good Option For De Zerbi?

Tottenham Hotspur Are Planning To Move In For This Talented Winger: Good Option For De Zerbi? In a recent print edition , A Bola stated that Tottenham Hotspur are planning to move in for Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup this summer. It has been mentioned that Spurs are hoping to get a deal done for the Norwegian talent this off-season. Schjelderup’s Impressive Form In Portuguese Football Schjelderup enjoyed a decent run of form at the Portuguese club in the previous campaign when he put in a series of impressive displays for them on the left wing. The 22-year-old scored ten times and picked up seven assists in 43 matches for Benfica last season on all fronts. The Portuguese talent is currently among the best young wide players in Liga Portugal. Thus, it is no surprise that Spurs are eager to get him on board in this transfer window. His current contract at Benfica will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Tottenham to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Schjelderup is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to engineer a few promising chances for his teammates in the final third and can shoot the ball with power from long range. The Norwegian talent can even chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas. Schjelderup is primarily a left-winger but can also operate as a left-sided wide player if asked to do so. However, it remains to be seen whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Spurs manage to bring him to North London this summer. We can expect Schjelderup to add more quality and depth to Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular starting spot at the London club in the coming seasons. At 22, Schjelderup has got a bright future ahead of him, which makes him a decent option for Spurs to pursue in the long run. He will also help Tottenham compete across all competitions over the next few years. Hence, De Zerbi should focus on going all out to recruit Schjelderup before the end of this transfer window.
