Former Tottenham Hotspur player Gylfi Sigurdsson is in demand this transfer window. The Iceland playmaker who now plays for Swansea is the object of a mega-money bid by Everton.
The Goodison Park side, who are the most active of all English clubs in the summer window, have made a massive £45million offer (Telegraph). However, as the Wales Online report, the Welsh side are ready to reject the bid. Reason? Swansea are looking for a minimum of £50million.
That is still a very high figure for a player who had a return of 10 goals and 13 assists last season. Sigurdsson has been in cracking form for Swansea and has become a key player for them over the past couple of seasons.
That return is more than the 8 goals he scored at the White Hart Lane when he played for us in 58 games. Sigurdsson could never establish himself in the first team and hence moved to Swansea, where he flourished as a key player.
Mauricio Pochettino is a huge admirer and even admitted last season that it was a mistake that we sold him. There were reports earlier this year that Spurs were looking to re-sign him although Swansea’s high valuation blew us out of the race.
The latest £50million price slap on Sigurdsson has Tottenham fans post a myriad of opinions on Twitter. Read on!
When Sigurdsson was at Spurs don't get me wrong he was a good player but no way is he worth £45m the market has gone absolutely mental

£45million for Gylfi Sigurdsson just proves there are no 'deals' in this market. Have to stump up the asking price for players even if crazy

A world where Spurs reject Gylfi Sigurdsson is valued at more than Zinedine Zidane, even with inflation, is a world gone mad. 😭

If Sigurdsson goes to Everton has to mean Barkley to Spurs. Calling it.

I'm one of his biggest fans, wish he never had left Spurs, but Gylfi Sigurdsson is not worth £40-50m.
World's gone fucking mad !!
