Sources: Tottenham plan to hijack Lucas Bergvall deal, sensation could arrive at Hotspur Way
Tottenham are set to invite Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall to visit their Hotspur Way training ground as they look to lure him to the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Djurgardens IF 17-year-old is also a target of Barcelona, who are rolling out the red carpet to try and persuade him to join this year.
It is believed that Barca are willing to pay £6million plus £2.5million in add-ons for the central midfielder, but Tottenham are in the frame to hijack the deal and are keen to hold talks at the training ground.
Djurgardens gave permission for Bergvall to visit Barcelona on Tuesday and have lunch with sporting director Deco along with members of his family.
Bergvall has impressed clubs across Europe with his displays in the Swedish top flight and is expected to make a move to a top European league.
He has racked up three goals and one assist across 28 appearances in all competitions.
The 2006-born ace joined Djurgardens in December 2022 and has been widely considered one of Sweden’s best young prospects.
The box-to-box midfielder has been hailed for his for his passing and technical ability.
Having made regular appearances for Sweden’s youth sides, he made his debut for the senior team earlier this month in a 2-1 friendly victory against Estonia.
Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League and were most recently eliminated from the FA Cup against Man City on Friday evening (26 January).
They are next in action at home against Brentford on Wednesday evening (31 January).
