CalcioMercato claim that Tottenham and Manchester City have made the ‘first polls’ to sign Bologna star Mattias Svanberg. The Sweden star’s agent is set to meet with the Serie A side – to decide on a new deal, or to leave.
Svanberg, 23, has been in excellent form for Bologna this season – starting 17 of Bologna’s 19 Serie A games, coming on as a sub in the other two. He has now clocked up 106 appearances for Bologna, since joining in 2018.
Indeed, he has proven to be a real steal for Bologna – costing just £4million (Football London) to sign from Malmo. Tottenham and Manchester City have made their interest known in the midfielder, and he could leave.
His agent, Martin Dahlin, has scheduled a meeting with Bologna ‘in the next few days’. The report states that he will either sign a new contract at Bologna, with his current deal expiring in 18 months. Or he could leave.
Underrated Svanberg eyed by Tottenham and Manchester City
Manchester City have numerous additions in the middle of the park. Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne and more are options in the middle of the park for Pep Guardiola’s side.
While he would be a good signing for City, it would be detrimental to the Swede’s game time. At Tottenham, he would have a much better chance of playing regularly. Spurs need a midfielder, one with a bit of energy.
Indeed, he would certainly compete and probably improve upon Oliver Skipp. Hard-working but also capable of chipping in with a goal or an assist, Svanberg is the ideal signing for Tottenham in the January window.
