Spurs’ Gylfi Sigurdsson set to become Crystal Palace’s record £8m signing after bid is accepted [Five Year Plan]

Well-connected Crystal Palace fanzine the Five Year Plan are reporting on Sunday that the Eagles are poised to break their transfer record for a Tottenham midfielder.

Gylfi Sigurdsson, the 24-year-old Icelandic international midfielder, is being touted for a move from White Hart Lane to Selhurst Park after Palace had an £8m bid accepted by Spurs.

Sigurdsson has widely been considered up for sale this summer, while Swansea, whom the player used to play for, have also been rumoured to be in the running for the midfielder.

Last season Sigurdsson, who moved to North London from Hoffenheim for €10m, played 25 Premier League games for Spurs, scoring five times.

Palace fans will clearly relish the news that the Icelandic international looks to be moving to South London, with many supporters hoping that he’ll do the job for the side that Tom Ince failed to fill last season; namely scoring and creating chances from midfield.

It should be noted, however, that the Five Year Plan report that “although an offer has been accepted, personal terms are still to be agreed.”
