Bergvall Wants Exit; Spurs Resist

Tottenham face a pivotal summer as they weigh selling Lucas Bergvall, the young midfield star who’s handed in an exit request despite being under contract until 2031. Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are circling with offers in the £40–46 million range, but Spurs are holding out for a premium. The stakes are huge: cashing in could fund a major attacking signing and lock in massive profit on an £8.5 million investment, but it also risks handing a prodigy to a direct Premier League rival — and testing Roberto De Zerbi’s squad cohesion just as pre-season ramps up.

But here’s the catch: to buy, Spurs still need to sell. Djed Spence is now in Inter Milan’s crosshairs with a possible £30 million deal, freeing up space and funds for the likes of Benfica’s Andreas Schjelderup — a dynamic winger who shone at the World Cup. Meanwhile, academy talents like Tynan Thompson and Will Lankshear are out the door for quick cash and future clauses. On the women’s side, Tottenham just smashed their transfer record to sign Champions League winner Alice Sombath, bolstering a squad gunning to climb from last season’s fifth place in the WSL.
