Tottenham Hotspur target Roony Bardghji has been alerted to admiration coming from Hotspur Way and the Copenhagen star could choose to link-up with Sweden under-21 teammate Lucas Bergvall instead of joining one of the north Londoners' domestic rivals during the summer, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Spurs are preparing to face Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday and, despite already knowing that there is an obligation to buy Kevin Danso for £20.9million at the end of his initial loan switch from Lens, boss Ange Postecoglou is eager to upgrade his squad when the transfer window reopens.
Mathys Tel has given the Greek-Australian tactician another attacking option in the second half of the season, thanks to completing a temporary move which includes a £45million option to join permanently, but Bardghji has been earmarked as an up-and-coming talent who could head to Tottenham in the coming months.
Bardghji Knows Spurs Are Among His Suitors
North Londoners one of many sides monitoring teenager
Bardghji is aware that Tottenham want to sign him after they have maintained a long-term interest, according to GMS sources, and the capital club are increasingly confident that the prospect of pairing up with international teammate Bergvall will be enticing when he decides whether to embark on a fresh challenge.
The wide forward has been described as an 'outrageous talent' by scout Jacek Kulig and, having worked his way back into Copenhagen's plans after spending a lengthy period out of action due to a cruciate ligament injury, Spurs have been eager to keep tabs on his performances.
GMS sources have been informed that Bardghji's return to the fray has sparked fresh interest from the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, but Tottenham are also long-term admirers and are monitoring his situation after he has been limited to just five appearances in all competitions this season.
The teenager has an existing relationship with Bergvall, who has been on Spurs' books since sealing a switch worth £8.5million from Djurgardens last year, and there is hope that the opportunity to unite with the midfielder after they have played alongside each other for the Sweden under-21 side will persuade him to make north London his preferred destination.
Bardghji has known that Tottenham have been among his suitors for a prolonged period, GMS sources have learned, and he is an increasingly attractive option for Postecoglou as he is on course to be available for less than £10million due to his Copenhagen contract being set to expire at the end of 2025.

Postecoglou Sends Scouts to Watch Bardghji
Tactician in danger of facing competition for summer agreement
GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are among the sides to have sent scouts to watch Bardghji since making a full recovery from his long-term lay-off, but they are facing stiff competition as Newcastle and Aston Villa have already been in touch with his representatives to make sure they are kept in the loop ahead of a potential move.
The 19-year-old was ruled out for up to 12 months when he suffered a serious knee problem during a training session ahead of Copenhagen's Championship play-off round clash with Silkeborg in May 2024, but the Premier League has remained a potential destination due to being held in high regard.
Tottenham's pursuit is further complicated thanks to Chelsea seeing Bardghji as a perfect profile for their squad, GMS sources understand, while Manchester City also like him and are threatening to enter negotiations as he fits into their plans to secure up-and-coming talent when the transfer window reopens.
The Copenhagen fan favourite is not the only wide forward on Postecoglou's radar as GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs have a serious interest in recruiting Lyon's Rayan Cherki after his representatives have made fresh contact in a bid to gauge whether a bid could be made.
