Tottenham Hotspur have been extremely active in the summer transfer window already, with six new players arriving in north London to revolutionise Roberto De Zerbi's squad.
The Italian head coach has bolstered his goalkeeping options with the free transfer of Martin Dubravka, the defence with Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson and the midfield with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
And more are set to follow, with De Zerbi now turning his attentions to the forward line, with the likes of Savinho, Rafael Leao and Eli Kroupi Junior all linked with move to N17.
Seven players have already departed Tottenham
However, a major overhaul of the playing squad requires departures too and Yves Bissouma, Alejo Veliz, Alfie Devine, Radu Dragusin, Luka Vuskovic, Joao Palhinha (end of loan) and Randal Kolo Muani (end of loan) have all gone from last season's squad.
Vuskovic was the big sale from those, with Brighton agreeing a £46million deal for the teenage defender who had never played a game for Tottenham, but had huge potential to be a star.
Now, Tottenham look set to say goodbye to another highly-rated young player in Lucas Bergvall.
The Swede was signed for just £8.5million from Djurgardens two years ago and enjoyed a clean sweep of the club's player of the season awards in his first season in England in 2024/25, shining in a stuttering Spurs side.
Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League, but lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy, with Bergvall showing more senior stars how it's done in a difficult campaign.
With three different managers at the helm during 2025/26, Bergvall, previously described as "unstoppable" by former Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, struggled to tie down a regular place in the starting lineup and is now looking to move on in search of more game time, particularly after seeing the club splash out £185million on two players in his position in Tonali and Fernandes.
Newcastle enter race to sign Lucas Bergvall
Speaking on his YouTube channel, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano delivered an update on Bergvall's future. Nottingham Forest have already seen a £38million bid rejected, while Newcastle have now entered the race and also had a £46million offer turned down.
Romano said: "Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham is expected to leave the club this summer. Bergvall has told Tottenham he wants to play on a regular basis, he's ready to take a different step and leaving Tottenham this summer is something he has to do, according to the player, because he wants to play and at Tottenham, the feeling of the boy is that after signing Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and they're not going to play European football, he does not want to spend the season on the bench or playing ten minutes every two weeks.
"So for Bergvall, there's been a bid from Nottingham Forest, talks with Newcastle and both clubs are working for Lucas Bergvall, both clubs are in contact.
"There is a conversation ongoing with both clubs, the situation with Lucas Bergvall is one to watch."
