Aston Villa and Chelsea are willing to pay £40 million to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is making his first transfer move of the January window.
sportbladet Report that both sides approached Tottenham in the January window, which Spurs clearly rejected.
Europe’s big clubs are looking
According to Sportbladet, the 20-year-old Tottenham midfielder is on the radar of many of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Despite Spurs’ struggles, his development at Tottenham over the past year has made him a player of interest.
Aston Villa and Chelsea are among those who are keen and interested in purchasing the Sweden international in the January transfer window. Both of them informed Tottenham that they were keen to move on.
At the time both clubs were prepared to pay £40 million for Lucas Bergvall. But Tottenham ‘categorically refused’ to initiate any talks regarding his efforts or the Swede.
demotion probability key
His stance is unlikely to change now, but a demotion could be significant. Spurs are firmly in the relegation battle, with just one point separating them from the bottom three.
If they drop into the Championship at the end of the season, there is the possibility of a summer fire-sale. Lucas Bergvall will be among those targeted.
Aston Villa and Chelsea have already shown a willingness to pay £40m, in such a scenario they would likely be first in line. The Blues had already been linked with a move in February.
And slipping to the Championship could force Tottenham to leave. They will need to balance the books and reduce costs as much as possible.
However, for now it seems that Tottenham are resisting. They have already rejected the efforts of their Premier League counterparts. Whether they can do that again in the summer will depend on how well Roberto De Zerbi performs in keeping them.
