Tottenham Hotspur pursue Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup this summer

Summary

Tottenham Hotspur has expressed interest in acquiring Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The 22-year-old Norwegian player enjoyed a successful 2025-26 season, scoring ten goals and providing seven assists in 43 matches. Schjelderup is noted for his dribbling skills and ability to contribute both goals and assists. Nonetheless, his contract with Benfica runs until summer 2028, potentially complicating any transfer negotiations. Should the move happen, he would add depth and quality to Tottenham's attack under head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
