Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham Hotspur.
Lucas Bergvall has done quite well since joining Tottenham Hotspur, and he has attracted Chelsea’s attention. The Blues were also keen on signing the Swedish midfielder in the winter transfer window, but Spurs rejected their advances.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are unwilling to let the youngster leave anytime soon, but Chelsea believe they could tempt him with a move away from Tottenham, especially if the North London outfit fail to secure European qualification for the next season.
Spurs have endured a disappointing season, and they are in the bottom half of the Premier League table. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can turn things around in the coming weeks and secure a respectable finish this season. They have changed managers to bounce back strongly.
Top-quality players will want to compete in the Champions League, and Tottenham could find it difficult to retain their best players if they miss out on a top-four finish. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can get a deal done in the coming months. The talented young midfielder would be an exceptional long-term acquisition for them.
Bergvall to leave Spurs in the summer?
Pete O’Rourke has claimed, “Well look, if Tottenham are out of Europe and struggling again, they’re going to find themselves more more susceptible to offers for their best players and Bergvall definitely comes in to that reckoning.
“He’s a highly-regarded player and he’s done well since he arrived at Tottenham. He’s highly regarded at Tottenham, he’s under a long contract until 2031 and there was no surprise that they rebuffed those inquiries from Chelsea and Villa in the January window.
“There was no change they were going to let him leave then. Tottenham see him as a key part of their long-term future at the club. But if Spurs continue to struggle and maybe miss out on European competition, you might have other clubs ready to test their resolve to keep hold of their best players including Bergvall.”
Bergvall has already shown that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to move to Chelsea could be an interesting one for him. It remains to be seen whether he is ready to leave Tottenham if they miss out on European football. Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be tempting.
The Blues are well placed to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they could provide him with the opportunity to fight for trophies as well. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
