Furious Spurs supporters found out new flaws from new signing as Bergvall suffers major injury blow in pre-season friendly
Lucas Bergvall’s involvement in Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against QPR was disappointingly brief, as the young midfielder had to leave the pitch after just 24 minutes due to an injury. The 18-year-old Swede had recently made a significant impression with a standout performance in Spurs’ 5-1 victory over Hearts earlier in the week. His efforts in that match earned him a starting position at Loftus Road, reflecting the coaching staff’s growing confidence in his abilities. However, his afternoon was cut short abruptly when he sustained an injury, prompting his substitution by Dejan Kulusevski.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been vocal in his admiration for Bergvall, highlighting the player’s potential and eagerness to integrate into the squad. Postecoglou’s decision to assign the No. 15 shirt to Bergvall further underscores his faith in the young midfielder’s future at the club. “He’s been chomping at the bit to get across here,” Postecoglou remarked. “He’s come in and looked really good in training. I’m pleased to have him as part of the group.”
Bergvall’s journey to Tottenham began earlier this year when he opted to join the North London club over a potential move to Barcelona. He officially became a part of the Spurs squad on July 1. During the interim period, Bergvall remained with Djurgarden in Sweden, where he continued to develop and showcase his skills through a series of impressive performances. His displays at Djurgarden demonstrated his readiness to compete at a higher level, making his transition to Tottenham a highly anticipated one.
The addition of Bergvall is part of a broader strategy by Tottenham to bolster their squad with young and promising talent. Alongside Bergvall, Tottenham has also welcomed Archie Gray as a new addition and secured the return of Timo Werner on loan. While the club is not currently in advanced talks for further signings, there is a clear interest in acquiring more attacking options. Players such as Desire Doue, Eberechi Eze, and Jacob Ramsey have been identified as potential targets to strengthen the team.
As Tottenham prepares for the upcoming 2024/25 season, Postecoglou is keen to ensure that Bergvall’s injury does not hinder his involvement. The young midfielder had shown significant promise and was expected to play an important role in the team’s campaign. His versatility, vision, and technical skills make him a valuable asset, and his development will be crucial as Tottenham aims to achieve its goals for the season.
The injury setback is unfortunate for Bergvall, who was on the brink of making a substantial impact. The coaching staff and fans alike will be hoping for a swift recovery, allowing him to resume his progress and contribute to the team’s success. With more attacking signings potentially on the horizon, Tottenham’s ambition is clear, and Bergvall’s role in this vision will be eagerly watched as the season unfolds.
