Tottenham are keen on hijacking Barcelona’s move for Lucas Bergvall as Spurs are set to invite the Swede to their training grounds.
Football Insider reckons Tottenham are eager to steal a march on Barcelona for highly-rated Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall. The Catalans have already agreed on a deal with his club, Djurgardens, but Spurs are now keen on inviting the 17-year-old prodigy to their training grounds to hold discussions.
Tottenham to hijack Barcelona’s move for Lucas Bergvall?
The circumstances of this present transfer window have been anything but simple. Many clubs, who had chosen to stay quiet, have woken up in the market’s last days, including Barcelona. Despite their financial struggles, the Catalans have agreed to move for Lucas Bergvall, the highly-rated Swedish teenage midfielder.
Barcelona have already agreed a deal with Swedish side Djurgardens, with reports suggesting they will pay £6 million and a further £2.5 million in add-ons for the 17-year-old prodigy. Some stories still believe that the player has yet to give his green light to the move, which has opened the gates for others to join in the race.
Tottenham have now entered the hunt for the 17-year-old prodigy and are keen on hijacking Barcelona’s proposed move. Spurs are looking to invite the midfielder to their training grounds and hold direct discussions about a move.
Spurs are looking for young stars to join in and start developing towards the path to the first team. They could also pay a slightly higher fee if required, although there’s no mention of how much they are willing to fork out to beat Barcelona to Gergvall’s signature.
Where will Bergvall join?
Bergvall attracted massive interest from top clubs, including Barcelona and Tottenham. The midfielder has been keen to make a mark at a bigger club than his current surroundings, which might see him tempted to join one of the interested sides before the end of the current window.
Bergvall reportedly prefers Barcelona over other suitors, which might see him join the Catalans and blow up Spurs’ hopes of hijacking a move. Hence, while the 17-year-old prodigy has not given his go-ahead to sign for the Catalans yet, it’s only a matter of time before he does.
