"Liverpool" coach Brendan Rodgers expressed regret that his former pupil at "Swansea" club Gylfi Sigurdsson chose London's "Tottenham". "We had a preliminary agreement and I certainly didn't intend to change the offer. The player had to decide for himself. "Liverpool" would have given Gylfi a great opportunity, he could have demonstrated all his skills because he would know the coach. However, for some reason, the player decided to move to "Tottenham" and all I can do now is wish the Icelander good luck," said Rodgers. "Tottenham" paid around 10 million euros for the 22-year-old footballer, who was loaned to another English "Premier" league club last season after belonging to Germany's "Hoffenheim". It was thought that the Icelander would choose Liverpool's team, but the offer from London was financially more attractive. In 19 matches for "Swansea", Sigurdsson scored seven goals.
