Gylfi undecided on Liverpool or Spurs

Gylfi Sigurdsson will choose between Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur in the next 24 hours, according to his father Sigurdur Adalsteinsson.

The £8 million-rated Hoffenheim midfielder’s father said: “He is thinking what is best to do and will have a decision by Sunday.”
 
Swansea and Reading, as well as German giants Bayern Munich, have also expressed their interest in the Icelandic international, who lit up the Premier League during his six-month loan spell at the Liberty Stadium.

Adalsteinsson said: “Gylfi wants to play at the highest level possible – every player wants to do that – but the opportunity has to be right.
 
“He hasn’t made up his mind yet. There are plenty of clubs interested in him. There are some in Germany, but Gylfi wants to play in England.
 
“The main aim for Gylfi is to be in as good a team as he can be and play for the best club possible."

The 22-year-old’s decision appears to have whittled down to a straight shoot-out between being reunited with ex-Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers at Anfield or joining managerless Tottenham, who are expected to name Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager this week.            

Adalsteinsson added: “Liverpool and Tottenham are both in Europe next season so that is not the question.
 
“I have seen the stories that he is demanding a certain amount of money per week and they are rubbish.

“The bottom line is he just wants to play and the main thing is to find the right team which will suit him the most.
 
“It always helps when you know the coach like Brendan Rodgers. He is a very good trainer. But does that mean Liverpool? Maybe, maybe not."
