Tottenham Set to Quadruple Celtic Star’s Salary Amid London Negotiations
Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest in Celtic forward Benjamin Nygren ahead of the summer transfer window, Filmogaz.com understands. The Swedish international has been a standout this season with 19 goals and eight assists in all competitions.
Transfer interest and valuation
Spurs see Nygren as a cost-effective target for the summer. Filmogaz.com reports Celtic would consider selling for a fee around £26 million.
There is competition from other clubs in England and across Europe. A deal below £30 million would appeal to Tottenham as they rebuild their squad.
Why Tottenham are targeting him
Tottenham need multiple additions after a difficult campaign. The club does not qualify for European competition next season, increasing the need for recruitment.
Finding bargains like Nygren could help strengthen depth without exhausting the budget. The player profile fits recruitment priorities for rotation and creative options.
Financial implications
Nygren reportedly earns about £20,000 per week at Celtic. Spurs could significantly raise that figure if a move to London goes ahead.
Tottenham could quadruple his wages during London negotiations, taking the Celtic star’s salary to roughly £80,000 per week. Such an increase would reflect Premier League market rates.
Playing profile and tactical fit
Scouting notes describe Nygren as a technically sound wide or inside forward. He operates well in half-spaces and offers fluid movement in attacking phases.
- Strengths: good on the ball, creative in tight areas, fits positional-play systems.
- Limitations: inconsistent decision-making at elite tempo, lacks elite explosive pace.
- Work-rate: pressing is adequate but not among the team’s best out-of-possession assets.
- Role fit: viewed as a rotation option with clear developmental upside.
Fit under Roberto De Zerbi
Nygren’s skill set aligns with Roberto De Zerbi’s emphasis on positional rotations and third-man combinations. Tactical compatibility exists.
However, adaptation time and physical scaling would be required for Premier League demands. Immediate impact as a starter seems unlikely.
Outlook
If Tottenham secure the signing for under £30 million, the move would add depth and value. It could allow the club to reinvest in other positions.
Any transfer will hinge on negotiations and competition for the player. Filmogaz.com will monitor developments as the summer window approaches.
