Tottenham Hotspur's acquisition of Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall in January 2024 is hailed as a brilliant move, as he has quickly become a vital part of Ange Postecoglouâs team. While initial concerns existed regarding his adaptation to the Premier League, Bergvall has showcased remarkable skills, surprising both fans and critics. Barcelona expressed strong interest in him, underscoring the competitive nature of his signing. Djurgardensâ sporting director confirmed the Spanish club's disappointment over missing out, while also praising Bergvall's decision to choose Tottenham, highlighting his fast adaptation and performance at just 19 years of age.
Lucas is an interesting and talented footballer. We had the privilege of discussing with one of the biggest football clubs in Europe, Barcelona, who were interested. I think Barcelona were quite surprised (to miss out on signing him), because you don't go to Barcelona just to look, you go there to have tapas and see if it's pretty. I think they were very disappointed that he chose Tottenham. But the decision itself was the right one because he has become an established Premier League player.
Initially taking time to adapt, Bergvall has since cemented his place as a regular in Ange's side, displaying the maturity and composure of a seasoned professional.
