Tottenham target allowed to ‘dream’
“He has a national and international market, it is correct for both parties to make evaluations, what matters is the final result.
“I don’t deal with these things, let the player dream and leave it open to us to operate correctly on the market.
“We can make good transactions and believe that in a few years Albert can say, ‘If it wasn’t for Genoa, I would not be here.’ We have learned to love our boys.”

Though it will be difficult to sign Conor Gallagher from London rivals Chelsea, Spurs are still huge supporters of the midfield player. Joao Gomes of the Wolves might be the substitute for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg by the Spurs.
It’s interesting to note that Spurs are also reportedly investigating Torino center-half Alessandro Buongiorno, so Gudmundsson is not the only Serie A player they have been linked to. However, considering that he will cost £34 million, Spurs might be better off going for free agent Tosin Adarabioyo.
