Top clubs willing to land €60m Tottenham star; player wants to stay at N17

Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall has quickly become a fan favourite at N17 and is attracting much transfer interest

Not a lot went right for Tottenham last season as the club endured its worst domestic campaign in recent history. The Lilywhites managed to end their 17-year wait for a major trophy by winning the Europa League against all odds, but that was not enough to overshadow the disappointing Premier League season that the North London club endured.

Many things went wrong for Spurs as they just did not get going, and key players also failed to step up when it matters the most in the league. But the same cannot be said about teenage sensation Lucas Bergvall. The Sweden international was a ray of hope for the Lilywhites when everything was going south for Ange Postecoglou’s men.

It is fair to suggest that not many had thought that the 19-year-old would prove to be a key player for Tottenham in his first season at N17. The talented midfielder looked well beyond his years and outperformed a lot of seasoned professionals to maintain his place in the starting eleven. As per Sofascore, Bergvall also racked up 45 appearances in all competitions for Ange’s men, and proved to be a vital part of the title-winning squad.

Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall is generating a lot of interest

Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall has quickly made a name for himself in the Premier League after becoming one of the standout players for the Lilywhites last season. The 19-year-old became a mainstay in the squad under Ange Postecoglou and it was clear to see that he was head and shoulders above the rest of the team as they looked to end the long-standing trophy drought at N17.

Now, it should not be a surprise for the fans to see his name linked with a lot of top clubs in the summer. As per Fotboll Direkt, many clubs are willing to pay north of the €60m asking price that Spurs have set for the 19-year-old in the summer. The Lilywhites have no intentions of selling the midfielder as they consider him to be a key part of the future at N17.

The aforementioned report also states that Tottenham will snub any advances for the teenage sensation as they just tied him down to a new contract that runs until 2031. Lucas Bergvall is also happy to stay at Hotspur Way next season and wants to continue his development by playing against top teams in the Premier League on a regular basis.

It is surprising to see that clubs are approaching Tottenham in the hopes to sign Bergvall for next season. The Sweden international just signed a long-term contract and became of the highest earners at the club by doing that. However, the approaches from top clubs just means that Spurs might have to improve quickly next season if they want to retain the midfielder for years to come.

Spurs fans are excited to see how Lucas Bergvall fits into Thomas Frank’s system. The Danish tactician likes his midfielders to press high and create chances from deep. The Tottenham manager also likes his midfielders to link-up play with the striker and venture forward if given a chance. This is something Bergvall excels in and he might just get the nod to become a regular starter under Thomas Frank.
