Sources: Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall stance revealed as Nottingham Forest swoop

Tottenham Hotspur won't be forced into selling midfielder Lucas Bergvall on the cheap this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The 20-year-old has recently made it clear that he is keen to leave the club this summer, but the Lilywhites are still prepared to hold out for a "decent fee."

The Sweden international is under contract until the summer of 2031, and Spurs are not panicking over his future at the moment.

Nottingham Forest have identified Bergvall as a possible replacement for Elliot Anderson, in what is seen as an "ambitious" move at the City Ground.

The starlet is expected to have a wide array of suitors in the coming months, now that he has made it clear that he is keen to move.

Forest are firmly in the race to secure his services, but it is expected to be difficult for them given the level of competition.

Lucas Bergvall frustration builds after 2025-26

Tottenham view Bergvall as a huge talent for the future, but have not been able to hand him the minutes to reflect that.

He started just 11 Premier League games throughout 2025-26, and played just 10 minutes of football across their crucial final four league games.

His two campaigns in North London have brought a total of just 22 league starts, as he has been unable to convince several managers that he should be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

That has clearly become frustrating for the youngster, who is now keen to explore a new challenge this summer.

Spurs fought hard to keep hold of him back in the January window, but the situation may now be beyond repair for them.

Roberto De Zerbi is still keen to keep hold of the starlet if possible, but Bergvall now sees his future away from North London.

Tottenham transfer claim 'nonsense' amid £100m losses

Former Manchester City financial advisor Stefan Borson told Football Insider earlier this week that Spurs will lose £100million in revenue after their struggles last season.

The Lilywhites must fall in line with the new SCR rulings, which allow them to spend 85 per cent of their revenue on their squad, while clubs in European competitions are limited to just 70 per cent.

There have been recent suggestions that Tottenham will be able to spend more freely because of that, but Borson was quick to label those claims as "nonsense."

Spurs have already secured the signings of Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke, and further business looks to be just around the corner.
