Nottingham Forest expect Lucas Bergvall to be available for £45m, player still keen on Tottenham exit | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have had a busy couple of days in the transfer market, and the future of Lucas Bergvall is now the latest issue in the spotlight.

Despite arriving in London with high expectations, the 20-year-old Swedish international is actively seeking a move away this summer.

Bergvall’s main motivation is to secure regular first-team football in his favoured number eight role.

Since the arrival of manager Roberto De Zerbi, Bergvall has played just 112 minutes across seven games.

With Spurs heavily restructuring their squad – securing marquee deals for midfielders Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes – the youngster fears his development could stall.

Fresh off his World Cup campaign with Sweden, Bergvall has made his intentions clear – he wants consistent game time, a luxury Tottenham appear unable to guarantee.

Nottingham Forest have emerged as front-runners to capitalise on the uncertainty. The Tricky Trees are actively seeking midfield reinforcements to fill the void left by Elliot Anderson.

Forest are keen to strike a deal for the Swedish prodigy and are positioning themselves to move quickly.

The transfer fee for Bergvall is expected to be around £45 million, a substantial sum that reflects his long-term potential.

To sweeten the deal for Tottenham, Forest are ready to include a sell-on clause, ensuring they benefit from any future high-profile transfer.

However, Tottenham’s stance complicates matters. The Spurs hierarchy has informed Bergvall they want him to stay.

Despite this, with several senior midfielders competing for just two spots in De Zerbi’s system, a £45 million windfall could prove too tempting for Tottenham to turn down.
