Nottingham Forest Lead Race To Sign Lucas Bergvall From Tottenham

Tottenham are insisting on a roughly £45 million fee that will determine whether the Sweden midfielder moves on after limited minutes last season.

Overview

  • Reports this week said Bergvall has told Tottenham he wants to leave and Nottingham Forest have emerged as the clearest suitors for the 20-year-old.
  • Tottenham have signalled they will not be rushed into a sale and are seeking about £45 million because Bergvall is under contract until 2031 and is a long-term asset.
  • Aston Villa and Chelsea are reported to remain interested and sources describe the situation as an open race rather than a settled transfer.
  • Bergvall made 33 appearances last season but saw his minutes fall under Roberto De Zerbi, and he is currently focused on Sweden at the World Cup while clubs monitor his availability.
  • If Forest pursue the signing it would help replace Elliot Anderson if he leaves and any deal will hinge on formal bids, Spurs’ valuation and the timing around Bergvall’s World Cup involvement.
