Spurs want to sign Andreas Schjelderup

According to reports from Portugal via Sport Witness, the player will cost €50 million. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price.

They need more quality on the flanks, and the Norwegian International will add peace, flair, and unpredictability. He can create opportunities and score goals. He scored an outstanding solo goal against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

However, the asking price is quite high, and it could complicate any potential move. Tottenham need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and they have already invested significantly in the midfield. €50 million is considered too expensive for an unproven talent.

Other clubs are also interested in the 22-year-old, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. His performance in the World Cup has seen his value skyrocket, and Benfica are unwilling to yield.

Unless the player decides to force an exit, the Portuguese outfit will hold all the cards in the transfer battle.

Spurs could use Schjelderup

Tottenham must improve the attacking unit before the window closes. Adding a quality wide player and a striker should be top priorities. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the necessary additions and turn things around after a disappointing season.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for the Norwegian, and regular game time in England could help him improve further. There is no doubt he will be excited to move to the Premier League if the opportunity presents itself.

Chelsea are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup.

The talented young attacker has performed well in the Portuguese league and impressed at the World Cup with Norway. Naturally, top clubs are monitoring his situation, and Chelsea are one of the interested parties. However, the asking price could complicate any potential move. He has a €100 million release clause in his contract, and Benfica are unwilling to sell him for cheap.

The Portuguese outfit is not demanding his release clause to be paid in full, but they want around €40 million for his signature. That is still a high asking price for a young player who is still largely unproven at the highest level.

Chelsea Chronicle reports: “Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham are all closely monitoring his development and situation.

“Sources close to Chelsea indicate that the London club could look into the player’s situation, but they will not rush into a €40 million move. Benfica, on the other hand, are absolutely unwilling to sell Schjelderup for anything less than €40 million. Furthermore, the player’s contract includes a €100 million release clause, which significantly limits the bargaining power of interested clubs.”

It will be interesting to see if Benfica is willing to be more reasonable with their demands. Chelsea needs more quality on the flanks. Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move away after a disappointing campaign, and they need to replace him.

The Norwegian could be ideal for them. He is a left-sided winger, but he is versatile enough to operate on either flank. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well.

The player recently scored a goal against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. He has 15 goals and 15 assists in 86 appearances for Benfica.

Liverpool’s search for greater quality and long-term security in wide attacking areas has led them towards another of Europe’s rising talents.

With the Reds continuing to plan beyond Mohamed Salah, their recruitment team appear to be assessing younger wingers who can develop into major contributors rather than expecting one player to replace the Egyptian’s extraordinary output immediately.

A move for a player already producing at Champions League and international level would fit that approach.

However, Liverpool are not alone in the race, and his impressive World Cup campaign has only increased Benfica’s negotiating power.

Liverpool join crowded Premier League race

According to A Bola, Liverpool are interested in Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup, with Chelsea and Tottenham also closely monitoring his situation.

The 22-year-old is considering taking on a new challenge despite having two years remaining on his contract, but Benfica are expected to demand at least €40m before considering a sale.

Liverpool’s admiration was reported before the World Cup reached its closing stages.

Liverpool’s transfer media watch previously identified Schjelderup as an attacking option for the Reds, while also noting Tottenham’s interest in the Norwegian international.

Schjelderup appeared six times as Norway reached the World Cup quarter-finals, using the tournament to demonstrate his confidence, direct running and ability to create danger from the left.

Jul 14 2026, 13:30

The deal could appeal to Iraola and his team

His finest World Cup moment came against England, when he opened the scoring with a superb effort before Norway eventually suffered a 2-1 extra-time defeat.

The Guardian described how his strike put England under major pressure in Miami.

Schjelderup would offer Liverpool a technically gifted winger who can drift inside, carry the ball and contribute goals. At €40m, he would also be considerably cheaper than several of the club’s other reported attacking targets.

Liverpool should explore this deal seriously. Schjelderup is still developing, but his age, European experience and strong international performances make him an attractive long-term investment.

However, the Reds should avoid being dragged into a bidding war with Chelsea and Tottenham. He would arrive as a promising option rather than a guaranteed Salah replacement, so Liverpool must ensure the final fee reflects that reality.
