Lucas Bergvall arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in July 2024, after they agreed a deal with Djurgården in February.

Tottenham reportedly paid 160m krone [€15m] to the Swedish club and the fee can rise to 220m krone [€20m] including bonuses.

Back in May, Djurgården sporting director Bosse Andersson confirmed all bonuses related to Bergvall’s sale to Tottenham have been triggered. His move to Tottenham is currently set to be the Allsvenskan’s [Swedish league] record sale.

Aftonbladet refer to the fee invested by Spurs to sign the midfielder when covering August Priske. The striker has impressed for Djurgården this year, scoring 17 goals and contributing two assists from 25 league matches.

The newspaper report the 21-year-old’s fine displays have caught the attention of clubs from top European leagues. They also interviewed the sporting director, who confirmed great interest in Priske, without revealing their details.

Andersson was asked whether Priske’s potential sale in the winter market can break the Tottenham player’s record.

Responding to that, he said: “Yes, I’m completely convinced of that. Yes, he will beat Lucas Bergvall anyway. Otherwise, he will play in Djurgården in 2026. I think August Priske will go to a really big club.”
