Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Genoa attacker Albert Gudmundsson at the end of the season.
According to TEAMtalk, the two English clubs are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old and they could look to make a move for him in the summer. The attacker is valued at around €30 million and the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
The Icelandic international has 16 goals in all competitions and he could prove to be a quality addition to the two sides. Manchester United need to bring in a quality striker to support Rasmus Hojlund in the attack. Gudmundsson could share the goalscoring burden with the Denmark international and help Manchester United improve in the attack. Hojlund and Marcus Rashford are the only reliable attackers at Manchester United right now and it is an area that is in desperate need of reinforcements.
Tottenham and Man United want Albert Gudmundsson
Similarly, Tottenham need to sign a quality striker as well. They decided not to replace Harry Kane at the start of the season and they have missed his finishing ability in front of goal. Tottenham need to bring in a reliable goalscorer and the 26-year-old could prove to be a superb addition.
Gudmundsson will be tempted to join clubs like Tottenham and Manchester United this summer and it remains to be seen where he ends up. If he can hit the ground running in the Premier League and adapt to English football quickly, the €30 million valuation could look like a major bargain.
A move to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity for him at this stage of his career, and he would get to test himself against top class players in England. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United and Tottenham come forward with an official proposal now.
