AC Milan will look to sign 20-year-old Swedish international Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Lucas Bergvall is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are eager to reinforce their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the ongoing transfer window, and they have their sights set on the 20-year-old Tottenham Hotspur prospect.

Since then, the 20-year-old has been a regular for Tottenham, accumulating nearly 4,000 minutes across 78 appearances for Tottenham thus far, contributing 2 goals and 9 assists. The Swedish midfielder’s consistency in midfield has caught the attention of several high-profile clubs, and with the youngster ready to leave Tottenham, many bigwigs will chase his signature.
Bergvall’s summer options
AC Milan’s interest in Lucas Bergvall offers a clear fit. The Rossoneri will pursue a midfielder in the coming weeks, as they are concerned about the long-term futures of Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, with both midfielder being the subject of intense transfer speculation.
Additionally, Luka Modric is in the twilight of his career, prompting the Serie A giants to spread their wings beyond Italy and sign a player who can be his long-term successor. Bergvall, with his ability to progress play from different midfield positions, technical quality, and combativeness oout of possession, is an option worth considering.
