Lucas Bergvall continues to take his chances this season
The Swede has had to take his chances this season, as there is competition for places in Tottenham’s midfield, given the quality of players at Frank’s disposal.
The 19-year-old, however, has wasted no time in grabbing his opportunities, as he has already scored his first goal of the season, with his strike against West Ham United marking the opening of his Tottenham account this term.
Bergvall followed that impressive display with another in the Champions League, where his cross forced an own goal from Villarreal’s goalkeeper, a decisive moment as it proved the only strike of the contest for Spurs.
At just 19 years of age, Bergvall continues to develop rapidly, and it is clear that his ceiling is high, which is why a former Spurs assistant revealed one key detail from training sessions that demonstrates how much Bergvall loves football and how determined he is to improve.
