A report from Sweden has shed light on some of the details regarding Lucas Bergvall’s new contract, with the report revealing that the Tottenham star has received a considerable pay rise.
One only has to look at the delight among the Tottenham fan base at Bergvall’s new contract to get an idea of just how highly the midfielder is thought of at N17.
The 19-year-old has surpassed all expectations in his first season in the Premier League, establishing himself as one of the mainstays of Spurs’ midfield.
However, the teenager was hit with a cruel blow just a day after the news of his six-year contract became public, as he suffered an ankle injury which ended his season.
A report in AftonBladet takes a look at the details in Bergvall’s contract and brings some key information to light.
The outlet points out that if the midfielder fulfils all the bonuses written into his contract, he will stand to earn a little over £4m per year. According to the publication, that would make the Tottenham Hotspur man one of the highest-paid teenagers across world football.
The report reveals that even excluding bonuses, Bergvall has tripled the earnings of his previous contract, with the bumper pay rise coming as a recognition of his importance to the Spurs side.
