Aston Villa and Tottenham have chance to fulfil player’s dream – Open to move

Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis is open to joining Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, or another English club to fulfill his dream of playing in the Premier League. According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, the Greek forward hopes for a permanent transfer that satisfies Benfica, who previously blocked summer approaches after new manager Marco Silva prioritized keeping him.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly had a scout present during Benfica's recent 3-1 defeat to FC Porto. While Benfica had set a €40m asking price below Pavlidis's €100m release clause in the summer, Tottenham could consider an approach if manager Roberto De Zerbi moves Richarlison out in January.
