Over the last several weeks, we’ve relayed many reports speculating on Spurs’ interest in Nelsson, with all of the information originating from Turkish sites (Hurriyet).
The rumor has already reached the Danish press, with Ekstra Bladet reporting that the centre-back is set to depart Galatasaray after two successful years in Istanbul.
The player is said to be garnering envious eyes from England and has decided to pursue a fresh challenge in the Premier League.
Tottenham and Wolves are the frontrunners in the race to sign Nelsson.
According to the publication, Spurs and Wovles are now dominating the fight for the 24-year-old’s signature.
Nelsson is claimed to favor a move to the Lilywhites, but Galatasaray are said to be insisting that his €25 million (£21.3 million) release clause be paid.
According to the source, Spurs are hesitant to match the condition, and we could be in for a “prolonged poker game” over the defender’s future.
Ekstra Bladet is undoubtedly a more trustworthy source than some of the Turkish publications that have reported on Tottenham’s interest in Nelsson. However, no British publication has reported that the Dane is towards the top of Spurs’ wishlist.
I believe the North London club sees the 24-year-old as a backup option if deals for some of their key center-back targets fall through.
