Three of England's most ambitious clubs are targeting the same man this transfer window. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur have all registered interest in Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup, according to reports.

Schjelderup, a Norway international, has attracted attention from across the Premier League with his performances at Benfica. The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the more exciting wide players in European football, drawing admiring glances from clubs with very different ambitions for the season ahead.

Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs entering the race simultaneously raises the stakes considerably. Any deal for the Norwegian is likely to trigger significant competition — and a significant fee — given the calibre of clubs involved.

Benfica will not be eager to part with one of their prized attacking assets, and the Lisbon club's negotiating position is strengthened by having multiple suitors. Schjelderup still has time remaining on his current contract, giving the Portuguese side little immediate pressure to sell.

For now, all three English clubs are monitoring the situation, with formal approaches yet to be confirmed.
