Tottenham Hotspur couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the Thomas Frank era.
Indeed, after finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, Spurs are flying high in third place right now after winning three of their first four games.
Tottenham have been playing very well, and numerous players have been performing above expectations.
Indeed, Joao Palhinha has earned plenty of praise recently, while Richarlison has started well too.
However, perhaps the star of the show so far this season has been Lucas Bergvall, and speaking on the Wildcards Podcast, Jermaine Jenas has reserved some special praise for the midfielder.
Jermaine Jenas hails Lucas Bergvall
Jenas spoke about Bergvall after his impressive Champions League performance in midweek.
The pundit says that Bergvall has a ridiculous amount of potential, and that he has a really mature head on young shoulders.
“Just the old head on young shoulders is the way I see it. I think the boy has got like a ridiculous amount of potential already. I think I saw, I mean, you saw a lot of it last year,’ Jenas said.
Lucas Bergvall has been tipped for greatness by Dominic Solanke
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard Bergvall discussed in these terms.
Indeed, Bergvall has been tipped for greatness before by Dominic Solanke.
“I just want to ask you about Lucas in the past six months. He came in as an 18 year old straight out of Sweden, what have you seen him change over the last six months?” Solanke said last season.
“He’s obviously matured and has learned a lot since he came in already, which is great, we want players like that here. He’s showing that he’s putting in some very good performances and he still has a lot to work and improve on, and I’m sure he’ll be a great player for us.”
Of course, whether or not Bergvall ultimately makes good on this potential remains to be seen, but, so far under Frank, he has been an exceptional performer in this Tottenham team.
Don’t be surprised if Bergvall does become a true world superstar at Tottenham.
