Lucas Bergvall #7

Profile

The Tottenham midfielder was seen as a super talent from a very young age. Throughout his upbringing, clips were often shared of him dominating games and when his Brommapojkarna youth team won the Gothia Cup, they were regarded as one of the best sides in Europe at that age group. “It was around 2019 [when Bergvall was 13] that people started noticing me and my team. Our BP team, with players born in 2006, won pretty much everything. We were often dominant.” Bergvall simply had to get used to the attention. Barcelona came close to signing him from Djurgården but it was Tottenham who won the race. “I think they [Barcelona] were extremely disappointed that he chose Tottenham,” says the Djurgården sporting director, Bosse Andersson. After a sensational 2024-25 season for Spurs, this campaign was interrupted by a knee operation but he returned to make a crucial substitute appearance for Sweden in the World Cup play-off against Poland in March.
