Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race for a £34.5m World Cup forward, but Liverpool are also keen after missing out on Yan Diomande.Tottenham Hotspur are doing everything possible to get back to competing with the top sides in the Premier League after consecutive 17th-place finishes.That determination has seen the Lilywhites busy in the summer transfer window, already completing several deals. Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka have all joined on free transfers, while Jan Paul van Hecke stands as the club’s biggest purchase so far, arriving from Brighton for £52m.More deals are expected to follow, with a midfield revamp firmly on the cards as Spurs pursue moves for both Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP via Getty ImagesTottenham and Liverpool join race for Andreas SchjelderupTottenham are also expected to bolster their attack this summer as part of their overhaul. The likes of Crysencio Summerville, Cody Gakpo and Savinho have all been linked with moves to north London.According to Record, Spurs have now set their sights on another wide forward, this time Benfica’s Andreas Schjelderup, who is currently at the World Cup. It is understood that Tottenham have joined the race to sign the Norwegian winger, although they face competition from Liverpool.TuttoMercatoWeb say that Spurs and Liverpool are both ‘following’ the 22-year-old during the World Cup, while Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Como are all also keeping an eye out.This comes after Liverpool have seemingly missed out on their top winger target, Yan Diomande, who prefers a transfer to PSG (SkySports). Unfortunately for Spurs, this could see the Reds turn their attention to Schjelderup instead.Why Andreas Schjelderup fits Spurs’ summer rebuildThe 22-year-old left winger enjoyed a solid season with Benfica last term, registering 13 goal involvements from 28 league appearances.Schjelderup is also pushing for a move away from Portugal, seeking a fresh challenge and reportedly ready to reject any new contract offer in Lisbon in the hope of securing a switch to the Premier League, his preferred destination.Benfica are said to be willing to consider offers starting from €40m (£34.5m / $45.5m), and Spurs would certainly be capable of flexing their financial strength following the latest £100m cash injection from the Lewis family.READ MORE: De Zerbi loves two things about Kinsky and he’s not the only one getting a new Tottenham contractThe post Liverpool missing out on Diomande could hurt Tottenham in £34.5m Andreas Schjelderup race appeared first on Spurs Web.
