Lucas Bergvall has impressed for Tottenham Hotspur in their 3-0 league win over West Ham United and 1-0 Champions League victory over Villarreal in less than a week.
The match against Villarreal on Tuesday saw the 19-year-old make his debut in Europe’s elite club competition and after the match, the midfielder expressed his joy over fulfilling his long-term dream.
Last summer, Bergvall arrived at Tottenham and played 45 games, winning the Europa League in the process.
The Sweden international’s rise at the north London club doesn’t surprise his brother Theo Bergvall, who has been at Djurgården since 2023. Fotboll Direkt had a chat with the older brother, and the Tottenham player was inevitably one of the topics of discussion.
The 20-year-old defender says he’s not as nervous as he used to be with regards to Lucas and his performances and is confident of his qualities.
“I’m not as nervous anymore. He’s incredible, there are no words to describe him. At the same time, I know what he’s capable of, so I’m not surprised either. But of course, it’s great fun,” he said.
Despite featuring regularly for Tottenham, the midfielder didn’t get to play for a minute for the national team during September’s matches.
When asked about this topic, Theo explained: “I think Lucas has proven himself on the pitch. I’ll leave it at that.”
The Djurgården right-back is yet to make his debut and dreams of representing Sweden and play alongside with the Spurs man.
“Yes, I need to do more. I need to play better on an individual level and continue to develop, then I think I can get there [national team]. Yes, we’ve played together our whole lives, so it would be the ultimate ending,” he added.
