On Friday, Spurs finalized a remarkable deal for the highly-regarded Sweden international, snatching him away from Spanish giants Barcelona.

Despite Bergvall being spotted in Catalonia, with reports hinting at an imminent transfer to La Liga, Tottenham successfully secured his services.

The central midfielder is set to join Ange Postecoglou’s squad in the summer, marking his move after making his debut at the senior international level in January.

Discussing the deal, Andersson acknowledged the presence of interest from other clubs in Bergvall.

“All parties involved — Lucas, Djurgarden, Tottenham, BP, and the Bergvall family — express great happiness and pride as the deal is finalized.

It has been an extensive process with several interested clubs, culminating in Lucas personally visiting two clubs to make his choice.

“We’ve maintained a dialogue with both clubs, and it’s reassuring that Lucas has made his decision based on his beliefs.

He, along with his family, took the necessary time to reach this important decision.”I take pride in the completion of this deal.

Many satisfied and proud parties have been part of this journey, and we extend our thanks for the trust placed in us by Brommapojkarna and the Bergvall family.

“The positive communication with Tottenham Hotspur during the transfer has also contributed to a smooth process.

We appreciate the excellent dialogue with Tottenham. Additionally, given that it’s Lucas’ birthday today [Friday], this 18th birthday marks a significant and joyous occasion.

“His next step is to join the team in camp on Sunday, allowing us all to shift our focus to football and the upcoming challenges.

It will be exciting to follow Lucas at Djurgarden during the spring.”Andersson also shed light on Barcelona’s interest, mentioning, “Yes, you can’t deny the Barca visit since he was caught on camera.

And there was one more club that I won’t name. Concrete bids are crucial, and amidst rumors, we concentrated on the clubs we had agreements with. Lucas was granted permission to visit them.”
