Spurs have moved quickly to make their first signing of the summer.
Tottenham announced the signing of Djurgarden midfielder Lucas Bergvall just hours after the January transfer market closed.
The adolescent was set to join Barcelona before Tottenham hijacked the deal, securing something of a coup.
Bergvall will only join Tottenham in the summer, but anticipation is already mounting.
In today’s Svenska Cup match, Djurgarden faced Nordic United, a third-tier team, with Lucas Bergvall compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Djurgarden won 5-0, and Bergvall scored twice to make headlines.
The midfielder pushed forward and scored his first goal of the day, making the score 2-0.
Bergvall added number four after the interval, and it was a moment of exceptional excellence.
The 18-year-old took control within his own half and raced past two opponents.
Bergvall raced another player to the area before dancing past two more and dragged the ball past a defender and the goalkeeper to tap in.
This was a remarkable solo goal, and Bergvall has received plaudits throughout Sweden.
According to Expressen, pundit Peter Backe compared Bergvall to Zlatan Ibrahimovic since his single goal resembled the Swedish legend’s goal for Ajax against NAC Breda in 2004.
.”The last little trick brings to mind a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic,” commented Backe, while Erik Edman, a Swede and former Spurs left back, described Bergvall’s second goal as ‘amazing’.
The opponent’s level is an important consideration here, as Nordic United are not comparable to Bergvall’s Premier League opponents.
Tottenham fans will be well aware of this, yet it’s difficult not to be delighted while seeing Bergvall power through the gears with driving runs from midfield.
Bergvall’s skill, grace, and turn of pace make him incredibly intriguing, and Tottenham supporters can’t wait to see him in pre-season action this summer.
