Aston Villa have reportedly opened talks to sign a Tottenham star ahead of the summer transfer window.
It could be an incredibly busy window for both clubs for various reasons this summer.
Villa will be in the market for reinforcements as they look to build a squad capable of competing in the Champions League and domestically.
Unai Emery's side need to bring in reinforcements to build a deeper squad to deal with the hectic fixture schedule that comes with playing in Europe's elite club competition.
On the other hand, Tottenham will be busy as they aim to improve on a disastrous few seasons.
The north London club have acted fast after another 17th-place finish in the Premier League, signing Marcos Senesi, Jan-Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson.
Aston Villa Open Tottenham Transfer Talks
According to a report from Team Talk, Aston Villa are one of the two sides in talks to sign Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Villa are among seven clubs showing an interest in signing the Swedish midfielder, but he is not currently prioritising a move to another Premier League club.
A report from David Ornstein recently confirmed that Bergvall has told Tottenham that he wishes to leave the club in the summer as he searches for a new opportunity.
Spurs, who could demand £57m for the youngster, have been heavily linked with signing new midfielders in the summer transfer window, and Bergvall clearly feels that he is going to struggle to play regularly next season.
Bergvall Could be Smart Signing for Villa
Bergvall, who has been described as 'unstoppable', could be a smart addition for Aston Villa if they can get a deal over the line in the summer transfer window.
The Swedish midfielder is still only 20 years old and was incredibly highly rated before he made the move to Tottenham.
At his age, he still has plenty of room to grow and develop, and he is also capable of making an immediate impact.
Whether he arrives at Villa and becomes an instant starter remains to be seen, but it could be a smart addition if Villa can pick him up for a reasonable fee.
