Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall is weighing a departure from Tottenham after a season of limited game time under Roberto de Zerbi. The 20‑year‑old featured mainly out of position, rarely playing his preferred number‑six role, and managed 33 appearances before missing two months for ankle surgery. His agent has begun discussions with potential suitors, and he is keen for a new challenge.

Spurs have signalled intent to reinforce the midfield, reportedly tabled an £80m bid for Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, which was turned down. Interest in Bergvall has surfaced from Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, though the London club withdrew after an inquiry in January. The midfielder remains with Sweden at the World Cup, playing in the 5‑1 loss to the Netherlands in Houston in the summer.

Bergvall’s uncertain status adds another variable to Tottenham’s squad planning as the club navigates a congested schedule and a transfer window that could reshape its midfield core. Should he depart, the North London side will need to replace his versatility, while a move elsewhere could give the Swedish talent a platform to rebuild his career after the World Cup exit this season.
