Tottenham Hotspur signed Lucas Bergvall last year, and the player has now opened up on turning down an approach from Barcelona.
As quoted by The Sun, Lucas Bergvall has insisted that he does not regret his decision to turn down a move to Barcelona. The Catalan outfit are widely regarded as one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be quite attractive for most players.
However, the Swedish sensation decided to turn them down and move to Tottenham instead. The youngster has been a first-team player for the North London club this season, and he might not have had as many opportunities had he joined Barcelona.
Bergvall said, “When I decided, I thought that Tottenham was the best club for me. It is a great club with good ambitions. I feel I am getting better every day. Training with all the boys and all the staff, I’m getting used to it. It’s not an easy change coming from the Swedish league. Everything is different. The running, the physical part… everything.”
Spurs move has been ideal for Bergvall
The highly-rated midfielder needs to play regularly to continue his development, and the move to Tottenham seems to have worked out for him so far. He will look to establish himself as a key player for the club and compete in the starting lineup regularly.
The Swede is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. Bergvall could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. Tottenham have done well to nurture talented young players over the years, and they could help the Swedish midfielder fulfil his tremendous potential as well.
Meanwhile, his comments will certainly come as a major boost for Tottenham fans. They will be delighted to hear that the player is happy with his decision to join Tottenham and hope that he can continue to improve in the coming seasons and fulfil his world-class potential with them.
The 18-year-old Swedish midfielder joined Tottenham for a fee of around £8.5 million last year, and he could prove to be a major bargain for them in the long run if he manages to fulfil his potential.
