Father: Gylfi Sigurdsson could join Liverpool

The father of Hoffenheim midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has denied claims that the player has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur.

It was reported on Friday that the 22-year-old had agreed terms and passed a medical at Spurs.

However, Sigurdur ­Adalsteinsson says that his son has not yet ruled out a move to Liverpool.

"Gylfi wants to play at the highest level possible. Every player wants to do that, but the opportunity has to be right," said Adalsteinsson. "He hasn't made up his mind yet. There are plenty of clubs interested in him. There are some in Germany, but Gylfi wants to play in England.

"The main aim for Gylfi is to be in as good a team as he can be and play for the best club possible. He is no different to anyone else. Liverpool and Tottenham are both in Europe next season so that is not the question.

"It always helps when you know the coach like Brendan Rodgers. He is a very good trainer. But does that mean Liverpool? Maybe, maybe not. He is thinking what is best to do and will have a decision by Sunday."

Sigurdsson scored seven Premier League goals in 18 appearances during a loan spell at Swansea City last season.
