Overview
- Reports on Friday say Tottenham have opened personal talks with Benjamin Nygren and the player is reported to be willing to join Spurs.
- Celtic are reportedly holding out for a €30 million fee and have shown little appetite to lower that valuation.
- Brighton and Bournemouth remain interested, creating a competitive three-club race for the 24-year-old.
- Nygren is a versatile Swedish international who can play centrally or on either wing and was credited with around 21 goals and nine assists last season.
- The transfer fits Tottenham’s stated recruitment strategy of buying emerging talent early and the club’s European status and financial resources are seen as advantages in persuading Celtic to sell.
