Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to an £8.5 million deal with Swedish club Djurgardens for the services of Lucas Bergvall.
According to a report by Evening Standard, Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on signing Lucas Bergvall. The 17-year-old sensation is a huge prospect for the future, and Spurs have no intention of missing out on him amidst interest in him from Barcelona.
Lucas Bergvall and his Rise
Bergvall came up the ranks at Brommapojkarna before joining Djurgardens in the winter of 2023. He has gone from strength to strength since the move and has already featured in 29 matches for the Swedish club’s first team.
The central midfielder also has four goal contributions to his name. His impressive performances have also helped him earn his maiden cap for the Swedish national team. Given the fact that he has already represented Sweden makes it quite clear that he is a special talent. And, that is why numerous clubs have been linked with him.
A Young Prospect High in Demand
Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona are two clubs willing to battle it out for his services. Both clubs are looking at him as a player who can add depth to their ranks in the short term and could eventually be one of the mainstays of their team.
They have been monitoring him for a while now and are now involved in a transfer tussle. Spurs have managed to take the lead as they have agreed terms with the Swedish club that will see the 17-year-old make the move to England in the summer. The North London club are ready to pay £8.5 million, and Djurgardens have agreed to it.
However, the player has yet to decide his future and he is in no rush as a decision does not need to arrive before the deadline. Meanwhile, Tottenham are waiting for the wonderkid to decide between them and Barcelona.
Bergvall visited the Tottenham training ground on Monday, but he was in Barcelona last night, suggesting that he is not sure what his next move will be. With both clubs pushing hard, it will be interesting to see which project he finds more appealing.
