Over the course of the past few days, we have seen an increase in the number of articles claiming Tottenham are interested in Albert Gudmundsson, with Newcastle United also joining the fray.
The Iceland international has been in great form this season with Genoa, and following the transfer of Radu Dragusin to Spurs in the January transfer window, the idea that the London side could return and knock on the Serie A club’s door again has been rife.
Calciomercato look at the situation, and admit that two clubs in the Premier League are in the front row to sign him, and those are the aforementioned Tottenham and Newcastle.
The article revolves around Fiorentina’s attempts to sign him, and it’s said that Gudmundsson initially wanted the move, but later ‘convinced himself’ to stay put in the summer.
There are a number of Italian sides who will come knocking for him over the course of the coming months, since La Viola will try again, while Juventus and Napoli have ‘never stopped following him’.
Despite all this, it’s made clear Tottenham and Newcastle have the ‘best chance’ of getting Gudmundsson in the next transfer window, as they can provide both Premier League football and ‘higher salary prospects’.
