Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall is proving his worth at N17 this season and could fetch around £110m
If there is one player that has been punching way above his weight this season, then it has surely got to be Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall. The Sweden international has shown time and again that he is going to be the next superstar at N17 after becoming a mainstay in the starting eleven under Thomas Frank. Since joining the Lilywhites last summer, the 19-year-old’s career at Hotspur Way has totally fast-tracked.
The North London club has endured a brilliant start to the new campaign under Frank, and most of the plaudits should go to Bergvall for his impressive contribution on both ends of the pitch. The youngster is playing as a #10 for Spurs this season, a role that he is still not familiar with. But it is safe to say that he is certainly making the most of this opportunity and impacting games time and again.
His brilliant display against West Ham, where he managed to grab a goal and an assist, ensured his place in the starting eleven for the foreseeable future. The Sweden international managed to follow that up with a strong performance against Villarreal in his Champions League debut, reassuring the fans that he is getting better in his new role.
Lucas Bergvall’s stock keeps on increasing at Tottenham
It is safe to say that Lucas Bergvall is enjoying his new advanced role under Thomas Frank. The 19-year-old is touted as the next ‘Jude Bellingham’ for the way he carries himself on the pitch. The Sweden international is full of running, and has managed to play a vital role for the Lilywhites in crucial moments. Not only that, but the impressive performance against Villarreal also earned him a Man of the Match award.
Now, Martin Allen believes that Bergvall’s stock at N17 keeps on rising due to his stellar performances. Speaking to Tottenham News, Allen said,
“At the age that he’s at, you’ve got to remember what Declan Rice and many, many years at West Ham, he went for £105m a couple of years ago. With him, there’s no way I’d sell him for less than £110m, no way.”
The ex-PL manager added,
“For me, he’s a better player than Rice, because he scores goals, and Declan’s not great at scoring goals. Top, top quality player. Yeah, and I will put him around about that £110m bracket, he’s that good, in my opinion.”
Martin Allen clearly rates Lucas Bergvall highly after making the claim that he is better than Arsenal star Declan Rice. The ex-Premier League manager believes that the Spurs talent boasts the ability to score goals regularly, which Rice lacks in his game. Not only that, but Allen also suggests that Bergvall’s price tag is around the £110m bracket, indicating that he is a world-class player and would only get better in the future.
All eyes will now be on Thomas Frank and how he develops the Sweden international this season. The Spurs manager is known to make players better, and fans will hope that Frank manages to do that with Lucas Bergvall. The 19-year-old has a lot of untapped potential, but he needs to be managed correctly if the club want to see the best of him in a Lilywhite jersey.
