Tottenham snatches Swedish Prodigy Lucas Bergvall from FC Barcelona’s grasp
FC Barcelona faces yet another setback in their pursuit of young talent, as Tottenham manages to secure the last-minute signing of promising Swedish player Lucas Bergvall. Despite negotiations appearing to be on the verge of a positive conclusion, the Blaugrana were caught off guard by Spurs in this fast-paced race.
After missing out on previous signings like Arda Güler to Real Madrid and Claudio Echeverri to Manchester City, Barcelona once again sees their hopes of acquiring Bergvall vanish.
The 18-year-old, who was in Barcelona on Wednesday, ultimately decided to join Tottenham. According to The Athletic, Swedish club Djurgården agreed to a €10 million offer from Spurs to part ways with this budding talent.
In contrast to FC Barcelona, Tottenham provided Bergvall with an immediate opportunity in the first team from his first season, a significant advantage tipping the scales.
Fabrizio Romano confirms this information, also emphasizing the crucial role of Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham’s midfielder and fellow Swede, in Bergvall’s decision to join the London club rather than the Spanish giants.
With the medical examination scheduled for this Friday, Lucas Bergvall is expected to commit to Tottenham this summer, embarking on a significant new chapter in his career.
