What to expects as Lucas Bergvall officially joins Tottenham today in £8.5M transfer

Tottenham Hotspur has officially added an exciting new player to their roster. Lucas Bergvall, an 18-year-old Swedish midfielder, began his contract with the North London club on July 1 following an £8.5 million transfer from Djurgarden.

Signed on his 18th birthday in February, Bergvall chose Spurs over other major clubs, including Barcelona. He played the first half of the Allsvenskan season for Djurgarden, scoring six goals and providing five assists in 18 matches across league and cup competitions. Now, after a brief rest, he is ready to take on the Premier League challenge.

Bergvall is enthusiastic about his transition to Tottenham, even though it means enduring a second pre-season. “I have another pre-season. It’s a double pre-season for me!” he told football.london in an interview.

In Sweden, the pre-season runs from January to April, preparing players for the league start. Despite the extra workload, Bergvall remains positive, appreciating the opportunity to recharge before beginning training at Hotspur Way.

Raised in the Stockholm suburbs, Bergvall honed his skills at Brommapojkarna’s academy, known for producing top talents like Dejan Kulusevski. Brommapojkarna’s head of youth and recruiting, Tommy Soderstrom, who has scouted for Manchester United and Ajax, has high praise for Bergvall.

“Lucas Bergvall is much better than Limpar and Kulusevski were at that age,” Soderstrom told football.london, highlighting Bergvall’s hard work and technical prowess.

Soderstrom, who has seen many young talents rise, believes Bergvall can become a top player in Europe. “He is a hard-working player but a very good technician.

When we were in youth tournaments against clubs like Bayern and Barcelona, he was always named the best player in the competition,” he said. Soderstrom emphasizes the importance of Tottenham nurturing Bergvall’s potential to ensure his success in the senior team.

Adapting to the Premier League’s intensity is no small feat, but Bergvall’s mental strength and technical abilities are promising.

Soderstrom is confident in Bergvall’s ability to thrive under pressure. “He is good up here (points to his head). Don’t worry about that. They must give him a chance. With the ball, he will adapt very quickly. He’s also very good with his head. He scores goals with his head. He’s quite tall. Both he and Dejan are very good players, but Lucas is better at this age,” he asserted.
