Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen in the past few months.
One aspect about the player that wasn’t been talked in the rumours is that his partner – Olivia Holdt, plays for Spurs and she joined the club back in January.
The Lazio winger, who was an important part of the Roman club in the 2024/25 season, spoke to Ekstra Bladet about his future. He was also asked how his relationship with Holdt is going and he hinted at potentially joining the same club as his girlfriend at some point in the future.
He also revealed that he is in London often to spend time with Holdt.
” [There are] occasions to see each other are not very many even if when it happens I go to London or she comes to Rome , we miss each other, but it’s a part of our life that, for the moment, is fine like this , but not for long.”
He made it clear that things do get difficult for them and it would be better if they stay in the same city.
“I have to admit that 1800kms away is really too many to maintain a relationship, but we are doing it and luckily there is technology that keeps us close and lets us spend time together, but being both in the same place is something else, this is normal.”
Speaking further, the Dane made it clear that both of them can play for the same club soon enough and that would be ‘fantastic’ for both of them.
“Sooner or later we will play in the same place, maybe in the same team. It would be fantastic if she came to play for Lazio but I don’t know, honestly. For sure, sooner or later she or I will play in the same place or maybe in the same team. It’s our dream.”
It shows that if Tottenham do move for the winger, there could be a clear reason for the 24-year-old to move to the London giants.
Lazio failed to qualify for European competitions in the 2024/25 season and this can also help Spurs lure Isaksen because they will play in the Champions League.
There has been talk of the Rome club considering sales of multiple key players and if that happens, Tottenham can certainly take advantage.
