Tottenham Hotspur are all set to beat Barcelona in the race for the services of 18-year-old Djurgårdens sensation Lucas Bergvall.
According to SportItalia via SportWitness, Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signatures of Lucas Bergvall. The English club were keen on having the 18-year-old sensation in their ranks and they have managed to fend off competition from Barcelona for his services.
Despite being just 18, he is already a mainstay at Djurgårdens and his impressive performances have also earned him his maiden international cap for Sweden. His impressive rise and huge potential have resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe and he was the talk of the town throughout the winter transfer window.
Barcelona were one of the clubs keen on having the Swedish international in their ranks. The Catalan giants were quite confident of striking a deal for the services of the 18-year-old. They wanted to further bolster their midfield and add another young star who could be a mainstay for years to come.
They had managed to convince the player and his father regarding a move to the Spanish club. But, unfortunately, things took a turn after Tottenham Hotspur decided to step up their interest and approach his family. Bergvall’s mother was inclined towards a move to Spurs and this has proved to be decisive. It has helped the London club overtake Barcelona in the race.
In the last couple of days, reports from across Europe have suggested that the Swedish international has decided to join Tottenham. The English club have managed to convince the youngster that their young and remodelled project under Ange Postecoglou is a better suit for him. Reports suggest that the commission allocated to the agents has played a big part in this transfer.
It has helped create a bias towards Spurs. In simple words, the agent fee has helped representatives convince Bergvall that the London club is the ideal place for him to take the next step in his career. Irrespective of what they had to do to convince the player and strike a deal with the Swedish club, they are all set to secure a star in the making.
