Gabby Agbonlahor reckons that Southampton will be forced to cash in on Jannik Vestergaard this summer amidst interest from Tottenham because his contract is running down.
Tottenham is reportedly interested in signing the Dane and they have even held talks over signing him, according to the Daily Mail.
He was a key member of the Denmark squad that reached the semi-final of Euro 2020.
His fine performance at the competition caught the attention of several clubs and he is now expected to leave The Saints.
He remains one of their key players at Southampton and they want him to sign a new deal.
They could insist on keeping him, but losing him for free next summer isn’t something they would want and Agbonlahor says this plays right to Tottenham’s advantage.
He says Southampton would want to make as much money as they can from selling him now instead of letting him leave for nothing.
He told Football Insider: “I really like him.
“I watched him a lot last season and for Denmark in the Euros and he was very good.
“He’s very strong, a big, big guy, very tall. He reminds me of Martin Laursen the way he attacks the ball.
“He’s a great, great player and I’m sure if Spurs can get that over the line they will.
“Southampton won’t want to lose him but with one year left on his contract it could make sense for him to get sold.”
Saints won’t do business with us,he will have plenty of real suitors.
When in doubt raid Southampton.
Anyone but Dier & Sanchez.
A guy that can at least head the ball
