Dominic Solanke might have become Tottenham’s record signing this summer but it’s the addition of another player that has excited Papa Matar Sarr. Lucas Bergvall, 18, has appeared in both of the club’s Premier League games this season, the 1-1 draw at Leicester and Saturday’s 4-0 win over Everton.
The Swedish midfielder signed from Djurgarden for £8.5million in the summer, having already been capped by the senior side at international levelAnd despite only being given 11 minutes as the Toffees were humbled on Saturday, the teenager showed some nice touches after replacing James Maddison.
Sarr, 21, has now lavished praise on the player and made a bold prediction on his career prospects. “Lucas. I really love his style,” said the Senegalese star, who made way for Djurgarden at Leicester.
Bergvall made 18 appearances for Djurgarden in the 2023/24 campaign, scoring six times. And widespread predictions he would become the club’s record sale ultimately proved correct.
