Lucas Bergvall came to Tottenham in the winter as a very late signing.
The day after the transfer window closed, the teenager was announced as a Spurs player and is expected to join the club in the summer.
At just 18 years of age, one might have expected Bergvall to initially come to Tottenham and join the U21 squad, but it looks like the youngster will be making his way into the first team really quickly.
Johan Lange reviewed Spurs’ transfer window on Tottenham Hotspur’s YouTube channel and touched on the signing of Bergvall.
The sporting director says he is a big fan of Bergvall and says that the teenager will indeed become part of the first team next season.
Bergvall will progress quickly:
Lange spoke about the teenager:
“Lucas is a very mature player, even though he has just turned 18. He is a box to box midfielder, very good in possession, made to control the game and with great work rate. He is mature as a person and has a very good family and support network around him. He has a lot of potential, he will join in the summer and become part of the first league squad,” said Lange.
Exciting:
This is very exciting to say the least.
It’s not often that a player of this age is immediately implemented into the Tottenham squad.
Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr had to spend a whole year on loan before being integrated into the squad, but Bergvall will apparently be thrown in at the deep end.
This is a testament to what an exceptional talent this young man is, and if he manages to fulfil his potential, Spurs will clearly have a very special player on their hands.
Bergvall is certainly a young talent to be excited about.
