Sunderland ‘have agreed’ Lucas Bergvall deal claim dismissed amid £50m talk | OneFootball

Claims Sunderland have struck a deal for Lucas Bergvall are understood to be inaccurate, with no agreement in place.

Football Insider suggested Sunderland had made an offer and then reached an agreement, while also linking Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. However, the claims are not thought to reflect the club’s current position.

Bergvall would be an ambitious target for Régis Le Bris. The 20-year-old is valued at around £50m, and Tottenham are likely to seek strong terms given his age and profile. He joined Spurs from Djurgården in 2024 and signed a contract to 2031, leaving the London club in a strong negotiating position.

Able to operate across central midfield, he is viewed as one of Sweden’s leading prospects. His age, technical quality and potential resale value appear to fit Sunderland’s recruitment model, and the Black Cats are expected to add quality before the window closes.

Thomas Meunier remains the only senior arrival so far, with Florent Ghisolfi indicating a more measured approach after last summer’s overhaul. For now, talk of a full agreement for Bergvall can be set aside, and he is not currently heading to the Stadium of Light.
