LONDON \u2014 Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a \u00a346 million offer from Newcastle United for midfielder Lucas Bergvall, despite the bid exceeding previous proposals from Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
According to a report by The Athletic, Newcastle’s proposal was worth around \u00a346 million. However, Spurs have rebuffed the approach as interest in the 20-year-old Sweden international continues to intensify across England and Europe. While Tottenham have stood firm against all bids so far, club decision-makers could consider a sale later in the current transfer window if a suitor meets their specific valuation.<\/p>\n
Bergvall, who is under contract in North London until June 2031, has already informed Tottenham that he would prefer to move on this summer in search of a new opportunity. The young midfielder’s desire for a fresh start has sparked a competitive transfer battle, with Nottingham Forest initially making him their top target. Forest’s pursuit intensified following the departure of homegrown talent Elliot Anderson, who completed a lucrative \u00a3116m move to Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Newcastle United have also stepped up their interest in the Swedish playmaker. The Magpies are actively working to reshape their midfield options after selling Sandro Tonali to Tottenham earlier this summer. Newcastle’s recruitment team has faced frustration in the market recently, having also missed out on Switzerland international Johan Manzambi, who instead completed a club-record move to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Bergvall originally arrived in North London from Swedish top-flight side Djurgarden in 2024 in a deal worth around \u00a38.5m. Since his arrival, he has established himself as a highly regarded prospect, making 78 appearances for the club across all competitions. Last season, the midfielder featured 33 times, scoring once and registering five assists. His campaign was temporarily disrupted when he missed several weeks of action after undergoing surgery on a high ankle sprain sustained in January. High ankle sprains, which involve damage to the syndesmotic ligaments above the ankle joint, typically require a complex recovery process for professional athletes to regain full lateral stability and explosive power.<\/p>\n
Tottenham’s reluctance to sanction an immediate sale is supported by their significant midfield recruitment drive this summer. The club has heavily reinforced its central options, completing the \u00a385m signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and securing the services of Tonali in a high-profile deal worth up to \u00a3100m. This influx of talent gives Spurs substantial leverage in negotiations, allowing them to dictate the terms of any potential departure for Bergvall before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
