Report: Legal issue could derail Tottenham’s pursuit of Albert Gudmundsson

According to a report in Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Football Italia), Albert Gudmundsson finds himself in the middle of a legal battle after allegedly being accused of sexual assault, with his proposed move to Tottenham thus now in doubt.

Tottenham have been linked with Albert Gudmundsson

The report says that Spurs and Inter both hold a serious interest in Gudmundsson ahead of the summer, with the two clubs ready for a transfer battle.

It is revealed that the Nerazzurri are waiting for Valentin Carboni to be sold so that they can fund the operations, thus potentially giving Spurs an advantage in the race for the Iceland international.

However, Gudmundsson is now thought to be caught in a legal battle that could derail his move to the San Siro or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Albert Gudmundsson allegedly accused of sexual assault

The player was reportedly accused of sexual assault by women he met at a Reykjavik nightclub in the summer of 2023.

The publication reveals that the case had initially been closed by a district attorney back in February, but this has now been overturned by Iceland’s attorney general following an appeal by the alleged victim.

According to the update, the Genoa man is now expected to be charged, with a possible trial taking place later this year.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham and Gudmundsson’s other suitors will be put off from pursuing a deal for the forward until the case is heard in court and there is a final verdict on it.

We suspect Tottenham may look for a new number nine rather than another wide attacker this summer either way.
