Swedish international footballer Lucas Bergvall remains with English club Tottenham Hotspur. The 20-year-old midfielder has committed his future to the "Spurs" by signing a new contract, despite his previous deal not expiring until 2031. Over the summer, both Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa reportedly showed interest in Bergvall, with the player himself allegedly informing the London club of his intention to leave between seasons.

Bergvall has featured in 80 matches across all competitions since his arrival in London from Swedish club Djurgarden in 2024. “I believe we are building something great here,” Bergvall stated in a Tottenham press release. “It’s an exciting time for the club, and that’s why I’m delighted to have extended my contract,” he added, as reported by AP.

At the World Cup, he came on as a substitute for Sweden against Tunisia, Japan, and the Netherlands. He was in Graham Potter's starting lineup for the Scandinavians' Round of 16 loss to France.

“I believe his best football is still ahead of him. We want to provide Lucas with the space to fully develop his potential,” remarked Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
