Watch out Tottenham: Arsenal and Chelsea want to poach exciting Spurs star

2 hours ago 27

Tottenham Hotspur face the risk of losing one of the best young players to a fierce London rival this summer.

While Tottenham are in danger of losing some big-name stars even if they stay in the Premier League, relegation could potentially force an even bigger clear-out from the North London club this summer.

With Spurs continuing to languish in the bottom three, reports indicate that top clubs around Europe are circling over the likes of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Luka Vuskovic.

The Lilywhites’ fierce local rivals have now entered the race for one of the trio.

Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to poach Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham

It has been widely reported that Lucas Bergvall is generating plenty of interest ahead of the summer window, and it appears that new clubs have now entered the race.

A new report in CaughtOffside reveals that Aston Villa and Chelsea tested the waters for the Tottenham man in the winter, and the Blues continue to remain keen on the 20-year-old.

The West London side have been joined in the race for Bergvall by Arsenal, with both clubs contemplating making ‘creative offers’ for the youngster.

Additionally, it is revealed that Barcelona’s interest in the Swede has also not gone away, with the Catalans potentially set to make a move if they manage to overcome their financial fair play issues.

The Tottenham star is thus set to be ‘one of the main protagonists’ of the summer window.

Spurs are not willing to entertain offers for Bergvall

CaughtOffside make it clear that the Spurs management considers the midfielder to be ‘unsellable’ as they view him as being part of their midfield core for the next five years.

With Bergvall contracted to the North London club until 2031, the Lilywhites have significant leverage, and any negotiations are expected to start at around £50m.

However, the outlet points out that the possibility of the Sweden international departing Hotspur Way could increase if Tottenham were to get relegated.
