The 2024/25 season has been gloomy for many Tottenham Hotspur fans, but there have been a few things to smile about amidst all the disappointment.
Forgotten man Djed Spence bouncing back from the fringes to become a key player for Spurs was quite the story.
The emergence of young players like Mikey Moore, Archie Gray, and Lucas Bergvall has also been exciting.
The trio offer Spurs fans a glimpse of a promising future. Their performances give hope that, even in a turbulent season, the foundations of a new era might just be taking shape.
A statement read: “We are delighted to announce that Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2031.”
Bergvall has been a crucial player in the Tottenham engine room. He has made over 40 appearances for Ange Postecoglou in his debut campaign in England.
The Swede is an intelligent and athletic ball carrier with a massive upside. The sky is the limit for the 19-year-old.
Former Tottenham star and fellow Swede Erik Edman compared Bergvall to a young Michael Carrick.
Edman also hailed him as an intelligent footballer with room for improvement, especially physically.
Building the midfield around Bergvall – Opinion
The Tottenham hierarchy and the new manager who replaces under-fire Postecoglou must centre the midfield around Bergvall.
The kid has something extraordinary, and Spurs must extract every bit of his potential. He can work with James Maddison if they have a proper holding midfielder behind.
Maddison is a playmaker, while Bergvall is a box-to-box dynamo. They only need the perfect anchor at the base to complete the engine room.
The Spurs recruitment team deserve credit for identifying his talent early and securing him before Europe’s elite came circling.
Locking him down to a long-term deal is a brilliant move that will have Tottenham fans buzzing.
