Former Spurs keeper and Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson has shared what is being said from inside Spurs regarding their new signing.
Tottenham Hotspur successfully finalised the signing of promising midfielder Lucas Bergvall on the closing day of the January transfer window.
They signed the Swedish wonder kid from Djurgardens IF, securing his services with a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €10 million.
In a last-minute coup, Tottenham outmanoeuvred Barcelona for Bergvall’s signature, with the player opting for the North London club over the Spanish giants.
According to Robinson, Bergvall’s arrival has generated excitement within Tottenham, with the club projecting him to immediately compete for a starting spot in the first team next season.
Robinson emphasised Bergvall’s quality and the competition Spurs faced to secure his signature, highlighting his potential to make an immediate impact at the club.
Robinson, speaking to Tottenham News, shared:
“From what I hear about the player he’s a real talent. We’re not overly versed on watching his games or know too much about him, but now that you know that Tottenham have signed him and you’ve done a bit of research on him you know that Tottenham were going head-to-head with Barcelona to sign him.
“From what I’m hearing from inside the club he’s coming in next season in pre-season as part of the first-team squad. He’s not coming in as a youngster with prospects who could potentially be loaned out again.
“He’s that good. I mean from what I’m hearing he’s coming in preseason and he will hit the ground running and be in contention for a starting place next year and be part of the squad.
“He’s a quality player for his age. Look at the experience that he’s got, the amount of games that he’s played, and just the interest around Europe.
“For Tottenham to beat the other teams that were going for him it’s a huge coup for them and I think he’ll be a fantastic addition next season. It’s exciting to get such a good-quality young prospect coming to the club.”
TBH Says:
The fact that he has already got everyone talking only indicates that we have got ourselves a real talent who could break into the first-team as early as next season.
Ange Postecoglou has a reputation of turning exciting young talent into first-team stars and Bergvall could be his next project.
We can not wait to see the kid in action next season.
