Andreas Schjelderup was one of Norway’s standout performers at the World Cup, making a strong impression after coming off the bench before earning a starting place against England, where he played well and scored an outstanding goal.
The Benfica attacker has enhanced his reputation with his performances, and he could now be on his way to the Premier League this summer, with at least one English club interested in securing his signature. His displays during the tournament have strengthened his position as one of the most promising attacking players available.
Tottenham monitoring Schjelderup
--------------------------------
Interest in the forward is growing following his impressive World Cup campaign. As reported by [Sporten](https://sporten.com/verdensklasse-andreas-schjelderup-gjor-benfica-rike/), Tottenham have identified him as one of their main transfer targets as they continue rebuilding their squad under Roberto De Zerbi.
The North London club were among those monitoring Schjelderup during the tournament, and his performances for Norway have reportedly convinced them that he could strengthen their attacking options. Tottenham are now considering whether to step up their pursuit before the transfer window closes.
Benfica value Schjelderup highly and regard him as an important member of their squad. However, the Portuguese club are not expected to stand in his way if they receive an offer that meets their valuation.
Benfica is open to the right offer
----------------------------------
The Portuguese side view Schjelderup as one of the players capable of generating significant transfer income, and they would be prepared to negotiate with Tottenham if the Premier League club submit a suitable proposal.
A move to England would also see Schjelderup join a growing number of Norwegian players competing in the Premier League. The opportunity to test himself in one of the world’s most competitive leagues could represent the next important step in his career.
If Tottenham decide to pursue the transfer seriously, Benfica’s willingness to consider the right offer could increase the chances of an agreement being reached. Schjelderup’s impressive performances at the World Cup have ensured that his future will remain a topic of interest throughout the remainder of the transfer window.
