Tottenham have landed transfer gem in Lucas Bergvall after what he did
Lucas Bergvall is set to link up with the Tottenham squad this summer – and Ange Postecoglou can expect an instant impact from the teenager.
The 19-year-old signed a deal to join Spurs earlier this year but an agreement was reached for him to remain at Djurgarden IF until July.
The teenager’s recent performances in Sweden, however, suggest he could be ready to make an instant impact upon his arrival in North London.
How good is new Tottenham signing Lucas Bergvall?
Bergvall underlined his credentials in his last outing with an emphatic, match-winning performance against Mjallby AIF on 25 May, scoring twice in a 3-1 win.
The young midfielder took his tally to three league strikes in 11 Allsvenskan outings for the campaign and has been equally impressive in his previous appearances.
The 19-year-old has completed 19 dribbles at a success rate of 65.5 per cent and 25 long balls with an accuracy of 80.6 per cent, underlining his consistent positivity and desire to move forward in possession – characteristics that make him a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s high-octane attacking system [FotMob].
Despite his ambition in possession, the teenage central midfielder has still completed 370 passes with an 88.5 per cent passing accuracy, demonstrating his ability to retain the ball when needed as well.
Impressively, Bergvall has also won 12 aerial duels at a success rate of 57.1 per cent, using his tall frame well despite his tender years.
And given he will arrive at Tottenham fully match sharp, having played a significant portion of the Swedish domestic season already, Bergvall could be well-placed to make an instant impact in England while the majority find their feet after a summer off.
