Tottenham reject January enquiries for Bergvall

Tottenham Hotspur rejected January enquiries from rivals Chelsea and Aston Villa, who checked on Lucas Bergvall’s situation while looking to strengthen midfield and amid the 20-year-old’s reduced role, according to David Ornstein.

Spurs’ stance was clear: no plan to consider an exit, even with external interest circling and the player’s minutes fluctuating.

Who is Lucas Bergvall? 

Lucas Erik Holger Bergvall (born 02.02.2006) is a Swedish midfielder who came through IF Brommapojkarna, broke out at Djurgårdens IF, and joined Tottenham in 2024.

At Spurs, he’s been used as a modern, two-way central midfielder – comfortable receiving under pressure, carrying the ball through lines, and arriving late into attacking zones. He is tied down long-term at Tottenham, with his contract running deep into the next decade.

Agency angle: Nordic Sky and founder Per Jönsson

Bergvall is represented by Nordic Sky Football Agency, founded by Per Jönsson and regarded as one of Scandinavia’s most established agencies, active across top European leagues.

Nordic Sky’s roster includes major names – most notably Martin Ødegaard – underlining the agency’s long-term presence at elite Premier League level.

Even when a player’s role dips, big-club planning often runs on longer timelines. Holding firm in January signals Tottenham still view Bergvall as a core piece of the project, not a saleable asset.
