'Barely getting minutes': Lucas Bergvall's Tottenham Hotspur situation has made one club very happy
Lucas Bergvall is an exciting talent, but Tottenham Hotspur aren’t playing him very often, which has got another club rubbing their hands with glee.
Lucas Bergvall is not getting opportunities at Spurs
The young Swedish star finally arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in the summer having signed on the dotted line way back in January.
There has been a lot of hype around Lucas Bergvall, and it is thought the teenager has made a good impression behind the scenes in his short time with the North London club.
| Statistic | Lucas Bergvall 2024/25 (all competitions) |
|---|---|
| Appearances | 10 |
| Minutes | 324 |
| Pass completion % | 82.9 |
| Shot-creating actions per 90 | 1.71 |
| Tackles won per 90 | 2.22 |
| Touches per 90 | 65.2 |
But, Bergvall is being used sparingly by Ange Postecoglou so far. The midfielder has made ten appearances in all competitions, racking up just 324 minutes in total.
Bergvall has started the last three Europa League games, but has been left on the bench for the past five Premier League outings.
Barcelona are happy to see Lucas Bergvall struggling
When Bergvall opted to sign for Spurs, he did so at the expense of Barcelona, who were disappointed to miss out on the youngster at the time.
But now, according to a report from Sport, Barcelona are watching on at Bergvall’s purported struggles at Spurs and are secretly happy that his move to London has seemingly backfired a little.
It is said that the Spanish outfit have seen Bergvall “barely getting minutes” at Tottenham and there is a degree of satisfaction after the youngster rejected them.
Would Lucas Bergvall have been better off at Barcelona?
If true, this reeks of spitefulness from Barcelona, and is a very odd thing for a club to even think about never mind feel this way. Besides, there is nothing to suggest that Bergvall would even have been getting more minutes if he had joined Barcelona, as they have just as much of a competitive squad anyway.
