Gylfi pleasure! Tottenham to bank £4.5m from Sigurdsson’s transfer to Everton
Tottenham are in line for a £4.5million windfall if Gylfi Sigurdsson joins Everton.
Spurs negotiated a 10 per cent sell-on clause when the Iceland international left White Hart Lane three years ago, in a deal worth £6.8m
Sigurdsson was sold to Swansea and, three years on, Spurs are set to profit with the Iceland international moving to Goodison Park for £45m.
£4.5m also represents 66% of the total fee they received from the Swans.
At one stage it seemed they were in line for an even bigger bonus - the Swans initially valuing their player at £50m.
Nevertheless, Spurs’ windfall is similar to the fees they paid for Eric Dier and Dele Alli, who cost £4m and £5m respectively.
The 21-year-old, who plays for Dutch side Ajax, will cost in the region of £27m – with addition add-ons depending on appearances and achievements.
