Tottenham transfer news: Spurs midfielder 'informs' club of preference to move on - Sports Mole

Tottenham’s transfer situation around Lucas Bergvall has intensified, with reports saying the midfielder has informed the club that he wants to explore options elsewhere this summer due to uncertainty over his role under Roberto De Zerbi. The 20-year-old is currently with Sweden at the 2026 World Cup, and a decision is expected after the tournament ends. Bergvall joined Spurs from Djurgarden in 2024 and has made 78 appearances for the club, scoring twice. While he earned Player of the Year in his first season under Ange Postecoglou and helped deliver a Europa League title, his minutes declined under Thomas Frank and then under Igor Tudor and De Zerbi. The Athletic reports multiple clubs in and outside the Premier League are monitoring him, with Aston Villa and Chelsea previously showing interest. De Zerbi’s use of a 4-2-3-1 system reportedly doesn’t align naturally with Bergvall’s preferred number-eight role. Sweden’s youngest-ever World Cup player after an appearance vs Tunisia in a 5-1 win, he faces limited opportunity behind Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha as Tottenham reshapes the squad.
