Football Premier League: Ambition Tempts Sigurdsson to Spurs
All Casinos Menu

Don't like Football Premier League? Then why not Play at an Online Casino instead?New Tottenham Hotspur signing Gylfi Sigurdsson says the club's ambition convinced him to reject a move to Liverpool and a reunion with former Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers.

The midfielder was highly impressive during his loan spell with the Swans last term and was set for a permanent switch to the Liberty Stadium after the Welsh club agreed a £6.8million fee with parent club Hoffenheim.

However, Rodgers' subsequent departure scuppered the deal and Liverpool appeared to be in pole position for Sigurdsson's signature.

Despite keen interest from his old Swansea boss, the 22-year-old rejected a move to Anfield in favour of a switch to Andre Villas-Boas' Spurs, much to the surprise of many from within the online gambling community.

"I enjoyed playing under Brendan and I am grateful for everything he has done for me, but after careful consideration I liked Spurs best. The team has world-class players in their ranks and they play good football, which I like," the Iceland international told MBL.

"I was impressed with the club's plans for next season and the coming years. There is clearly great ambition at Tottenham and the club intends to do big things. It is a pleasure to see that Gareth Bale has signed a new contract."

Sigurdsson will have to wait at least another season to taste Champions League football, following Tottenham's unsuccessful bid last term. Spurs looked set for a seat at Europe's top table, only for Chelsea to scupper their plans with a dramatic victory over Bayern Munich in
the competition's final.

Many who bet on sports believe that AVB’s men will overcome that disappointment and mount a serious Premier League challenge under Villas-Boas next season.

"I like him and the ideas he has. He has faith in me and I'm looking forward to working under his leadership," Sigurdsson added.
