Sigurdsson To Make His Choice<\/h1>\n

Gylfi Sigurdsson is set to choose between Liverpool and Spurs in the next 24 hours. The Hoffenheim midfielder is the subject of \u00a38million bids from the two Premier League sides, both of which have been accepted by the Bundesliga side.<\/p>\n

Sigurdsson played under Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers at Swansea during the second half of last season and the Reds were though to be favourites to secure his signature. However, Tottenham have offered better personal terms than Liverpool and the 22-year-old Iceland international was said this week to be inching towards White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n

But Sigurdsson\u2019s father Sigurdur Adalsteinsson claims his son\u2019s decision will come down to footballing rather than financial reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cGylfi wants to play at the highest level possible \u2013 every player wants to do that \u2013 but the opportunity has to be right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main aim for Gylfi is to be in as good a team as he can be and play for the best club possible. He is no different to anyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool and Tottenham are both in Europe next season so that is not the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen the stories that he is demanding a certain amount of money per week and they are rubbish. He just wants a normal salary and to be on the same as other players at the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is he just wants to play and the main thing football-wise is to find the right team which will suit him the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt always helps when you know the coach like Brendan Rodgers. He is a very good trainer. But does that mean Liverpool? Maybe \u2013 maybe not. He is thinking what is best to do and will have a decision by Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
