Tottenham look to hijack Barcelona’s attempts to sign £8.5m-rated wonderkid Lucas Bergvall, who has already made his senior international debut for Sweden at 17-years-old!

Tottenham have made an enquiry about Djurgardens wonderkid Lucas Bergvall. The 17-year-old Swedish international is set to join Barcelona for £8.5 million.

Despite this, Spurs could rush in to recruit the potential young midfielder, who has also piqued the curiosity of other clubs throughout Europe, including Manchester United, where he had tryouts when he was 14.

After coming through the ranks at Swedish club IF Brommapojkarna, he joined Djurgardens in December 2022.

Not long after his arrival, he made his Swedish first division debut, coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 victory over his former club Brommapojkarna.

The box-to-box midfielder has exceptional technical ability and can put his teammates in dangerous positions with his excellent distribution. He also has a strong grasp of the game and is noted for coming in at the correct time to intercept opposing attacks.

Bergvall earned his first start for the club later in May, in a 1-0 win over Hacken, and went on to score three goals in 28 appearances from midfield, with Barcelona expressing interest in signing him last month.

The 17-year-old is so highly regarded that he has already earned his senior international debut for Sweden, playing 31 minutes in a 2-1 win over Estonia in January.

Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, meanwhile, wants to continue with the club, according to his lawyer, Lars Halgreen.

According to Mail Sport, Lyon is interested in the midfielder, but the French club may not pay his asking price.

His Spurs contract runs in 2025, and the Danish international has made only seven starts in 23 appearances across all competitions for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
