Lucas Bergvall has delivered a heartfelt message to Tottenham Hotspur fans after his breakout campaign ends in silverware.

The 2024/25 season was one big rollercoaster ride for Tottenham Hotspur, with the club alternating between moments of brilliance and spells of absolute chaos throughout the campaign.

Their domestic form, particularly in the Premier League, was abysmal to say the least, as Tottenham finished 17th, just one place above the relegation zone, having lost 22 of their 38 league games.

Europe provided one of the few silver linings for the North London club, as Spurs embarked on a deep Europa League run and ultimately lifted the trophy after a narrow 1-0 win over Manchester United, ending their 17-year wait for silverware.

The development of youngsters was another bright spark in what was largely a gloomy season, as the likes of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray gained much-needed first-team experience amid the club’s injury crisis.

Bergvall, who was brought in from the Swedish league at just 18 years of age, featured 45 times for Tottenham across all competitions, registering four assists and scoring once.

Although he endured a difficult start to life in England, the youngster steadily grew into the Tottenham shirt and eventually became an integral part of Ange Postecoglou’s setup.

With the season now concluded – and ending on a high for Spurs – the teenager took to social media to share a heartfelt message with the Tottenham faithful, expressing his gratitude for their unwavering support.

He said: “I want to say thank you for all your support in my first season here, for treating me as one of your own from the start, and to all the staff and my teammates for everything they have done to make me feel at home here.

“It has been a year of learning and adapting – it has not always been easy for any of us but we know that we will be better for next season and we kept believing that we could do something special.

“Finishing my first season with three awards and especially the Europa League trophy, I feel very grateful. We will keep building! 🤍”

Bergvall shines as Spurs eye Champions League return

Indeed, Tottenham Hotspur will look to build on their most recent European success, and Bergvall, who was rewarded with a six-year deal earlier this year, will be at the heart of it.

Lucas Bergvall capped off a brilliant first spell in English football in truly spectacular fashion, securing the OSC Player of the Season, the One Hotspur Player of the Season, and the One Hotspur Juniors Player of the Season.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to continue their rebuild this summer, but they also have an important decision to make about one of their most senior players.

While there will be plenty of talk surrounding potential incomings at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, a fair few players could also be heading out the door.

We have identified six players who could leave Tottenham as free agents once their contracts expire on June 30.

In addition, five Tottenham players may have already played their final games in a Lilywhite shirt, depending on the club’s decision in the coming weeks.

Ben Davies Tottenham exit still on the cards amid contract uncertainty

Indeed, Tottenham’s longest-serving player finds himself in both categories, as his current deal is set to run out at the end of June. Should the Spurs board opt against offering an extension, Ben Davies may well have played his final match for the club.

It was reported a few weeks ago that Ben Davies was expected to depart Tottenham as a free agent, with no new contract being tabled for the Welsh international.

However, a fresh update from George Sessions, a Tottenham reporter, has revealed that a final decision has not yet been made.

According to the journalist, Spurs are understood to hold a 12-month option to extend the defender’s stay, with clarity expected in the coming days.

He wrote on X: “A decision on Ben Davies is required. Spurs hold 12-month option. Final call expected by next week.”

Spurs still need defensive reinforcements even if Davies stays

Regardless of whether Ben Davies remains at Tottenham or not, it is clear the club need to bolster their defence this summer, as his recent displays at N17 have left much to be desired.

Tottenham should be aiming to recruit a right-back who can compete with Pedro Porro and also bring in a centre-back to provide additional cover, particularly in case Micky van de Ven picks up another injury.

Davies has certainly been a reliable servant for the club over the years, but if he is allowed to leave on a free, it would not be the end of the world. Spurs could quite easily move forward with other options if they prove to be better fits.

Tottenham were expected to step up their pursuit of a Premier League star this week, but Chelsea have scuppered their chances of landing him.

Tottenham Hotspur will need reinforcements ahead of next season, as they are set to feature in at least four different competitions.

Ange Postecoglou stated season three is always better than season two, and if he is to make his third season any better than his last, he needs to improve Spurs’ performance in the Premier League.

Indeed, Tottenham will want to give a good account of themselves in every competition they feature in next season and to that, Postecoglou admitted Spurs would need to sign players with experience playing in the Champions League and Premier League.

Tottenham wanted Liam Delap transfer but Chelsea have won

The centre-forward position is one Tottenham are looking to improve, and it is no surprise, as it has been reported that Richarlison is considering his future at Spurs.

Mathys Tel, who has featured as a striker at times last season, could also be heading back to Germany on June 30 when his Spurs contract expires.

Interestingly, according to Dean Jones, on the Ranks FC Ultras Patreon page, Spurs were planning on stepping up talks to sign a very exciting striker. According to the journalist, Tottenham had already made initial contact about signing Liam Delap and were looking to accelerate talks in the coming days.

Jones wrote: “United’s other major target is Liam Delap, but that is still in the air. He is carefully weighing his next move, with Everton, Chelsea, and now Tottenham all very much in the mix. Spurs have made initial contact and hope to accelerate talks this week.”

The Ipswich Town forward, who was relegated with the Tractor Boys after scoring 12 times in the Premier League, but it is another London club who have won the race. Fabrizio Romano reported previously that Delap had made it clear he wants to join Chelsea.

Romano has since given Delap’s move to Chelsea the “Here we go” treatment on social media.

Spurs need to find another option instead of Delap

For sure, Delap would have been an exciting signing for Tottenham if they had managed to get a deal for the striker done. The young forward has proven himself in the Premier League after hitting the double-figure mark for goals in only his first full season, scoring three more goals than Tottenham’s forward Dominic Solanke, who ended with nine.

Spurs will rotate heavily next campaign because of their involvement in the Champions League – that is why having a player like Delap, who would not need any more time to adapt to life in England, could be vital for Tottenham, who will need to hit the ground running early on next campaign.

However, if Tottenham are set to lose out to Chelsea, they will have to turn their attention to other forward options in the summer transfer market. Of course, there is the small matter of sorting Ange Postecoglou’s future first too.

John Terry has aimed yet another cheeky dig at James Maddison, this time in front of a live crowd at the Tottenham midfielder’s own golf event – and he did not hold back.

James Maddison and John Terry have been having a go at each other since Tottenham Hotspur won their first major trophy after 17 years when they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final.

Maddison did not feature in the cup final because of a knee injury he picked up in the first leg of their semi-final clash against Bodo/Glimt, but he was present at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao for the celebrations after Tottenham’s win.

The Englishman appeared in full kit when collecting his medal, and when asked about it, Maddison was quick to have a dig at John Terry, stating that he did not want to go full kit mode like the former England international.

Terry has since snapped back at James Maddison for the full kit comment on his Instagram stories, saying: “I remember my first trophy ah bless them.

“Get the tequila out, great season from you boys, you should all be proud 16 to go… After that performance, I think you have a chance. You just have to live for 900 years.”

The former Chelsea man then followed up his dig by showing off his trophy cabinet on his Instagram story, which includes five Premier League titles, five FA Cups and the Champions League.

The two have since crossed paths once more, this time at James Maddison’s golf foundation day, where John Terry won an award and was quick to have another go at the Spurs man.

He said, as seen on social media in a viral video doing the rounds on X: “I am so happy with this. By the way, it has been a week and I have won the same amount of trophies as Spurs.”

Maddison takes Terry jibe in stride after Tottenham’s European glory

James Maddison did take those comments in good faith, as the Tottenham midfielder was seen laughing and embracing Terry following his jibe at the Lilywhites.

While Terry has won it all, James Maddison has every reason to be proud of his recent achievement with Tottenham, where he has helped end a long four-decade drought of European success.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters have reached a consensus on Mathys Tel – and it is not the ringing endorsement the club might have hoped for.

It has been nearly six months since Tottenham Hotspur completed the loan signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, a deal which included a £46 million option to buy this summer.

The versatile forward has featured 20 times for Tottenham in the second half of the campaign, contributing three goals and one assist during that spell.

He operated across the frontline, appearing off the left, on the right, and through the middle – a quality that heavily influenced the Lilywhites’ decision to bring him in on loan from the German champions.

Tottenham fans unconvinced by Mathys Tel price tag

Mathys Tel has been viewed by some as a long-term Tottenham successor to Heung-min Son, yet his performances, while tidy in parts, have not exactly set the Premier League alight.

With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Tottenham must now decide whether to activate the option to buy clause and make his move permanent, or send the Frenchman back to his parent club.

Supporters have now made their voices heard, with many unconvinced that Mathys Tel is worth the £46 million investment. One fan remarked: “Yes, but not for £60M, something similar to what we paid Odobert.”

Another stated: “Unless we can get him for half price, like £25 mil, nah imo.” A different supporter added: “No, wish him the best in his development but he is not what we need.”

Some believe the deal would hinder youth progression: “Surplus to requirements I think, blocking the pathway of our own youth to break through. Whatever happened to the perceived ‘Generational Talent’ of Moore, Gray, Lankshear, Donley, Scarlett, Devine, T. Hall, etc. Signing Tel, we will not see some of them again…(IMO).”

The recurring sentiment of Mathys Tel’s price tag being too high for Tottenham continued: “Honestly, do not see the hype given the price tag. He scored from a pen but other than that never seemed to have the right boots on. Let us get him for half of the €50m option.”

Another added: “Cheap one year loan deal maybe, needs to do a lot more to warrant a permanent move.”

Spurs yet to decide on the future of Tel

Tel is part of the group of Spurs players expected to depart the club on 30 June when contracts expire.

The Bayern loanee has spoken fondly about his short time in North London, stating that Tottenham means more than just a football club to him.

Discussions are expected to take place in the coming weeks about Mathys Tel’s future, with reports suggesting Tottenham have already informed the Frenchman’s entourage of their desire to retain him.

Tottenham Hotspur are at risk of falling behind in the race to sign two of their top summer targets, with Newcastle United ready to launch early offers.

It has been widely reported over the last few months that Tottenham have identified Marc Guehi as their top choice to replace Cristian Romero, who has been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid this summer.

Various sources have confirmed that Tottenham had a £70m offer for Guehi rejected late in the January window, and the North London club are expected to try again this summer.

Some sources over recent weeks have also claimed that Spurs are also turning their attention to Bryan Mbeumo, who has taken his goalscoring exploits to a new level since the departure of Ivan Toney.

Newcastle ready to make offers for Tottenham targets Marc Guehi and Bryan Mbuemo

The Telegraph have now revealed that the Magpies are trying to steal a march on Tottenham Hotspur and other suitors in the race for the Palace and Brentford stars.

The report says that Newcastle are ready to push ahead with their moves, with their opening offers on the way for Guehi and Mbeumo, both of whom feature high on Eddie Howe’s wishlist.

In fact, the outlet spoke to one source internally at St James’ Park, who confirmed that all the groundwork has been done and that the club are ready to enter the negotiating table for the pair.

The source is quoted as saying: “Everything is in place, all the work that has been done on players has been finished and now we have to push the button and get those deals done. We know who we want.”

How much will Guehi and Mbuemo cost this summer?

While Spurs had a £70m offer rejected for the Palace defender in January, the England international is expected to come much cheaper this summer.

Journalist Ben Jacobs claimed two weeks ago that Palace may be prepared to accept £50m for Guehi during the upcoming transfer window, with the former Chelsea man having just a year left on his deal.

Even though Tottenham Hotspur do not know for sure who their manager is going to be at the start of next season, that is not stopping the club from pushing ahead with transfer moves, with the North Londoners currently negotiating three different deals.

Winning the Europa League has been a complete game-changer for Tottenham ahead of the summer window, with Spurs set for a major financial windfall after qualifying for the Champions League.

Over recent days, some outlets have said that Tottenham are prepared to flex their financial muscle in the transfer window and make some big moves this summer.

It looks like the Lilywhites are wasting no time, with the club already thought to have begun working on several deals ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

Tottenham are currently negotiating three big deals

Journalist Dean Jones has claimed on the Ranks FC Ultras Patreon page that Tottenham have already started working on three deals, including one for Mathys Tel.

The journalist claimed that the Lilywhites are also pushing ahead with negotiations for Johnny Cardoso and Angel Gomes, even though they are yet to make a final decision on Postecoglou’s future.

He wrote: “They are pressing ahead in negotiations for Mathys Tel and are also looking to close out agreements for Johnny Cardoso and Angel Gomes.

“All of this is happening while serious internal conversations are unfolding about Ange Postecoglou’s future. Sunday night in London saw key decision-makers discussing whether to stick or twist with the manager.”

When is a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future expected?

Over recent days, various outlets have claimed that Daniel Levy has not yet decided on Postecoglou’s future, with the Spurs chairman continuing to consider his options.

In fact, an announcement on the Australian’s future is not imminent from the club, with the 59-year-old currently on holiday.

Tottenham Hotspur may finally have the chance to sign their long-term target Roony Bardghji this summer, with a fresh report shedding light on what the Swede is thinking about a potential switch to North London this summer.

Bardghji has been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time, but the youngster has been out of action with an ACL injury for the best part of the last 12 months.

The 19-year-old only returned to action recently in late March and it was reported back in April that Bardghji’s return had piqued Tottenham’s interest ahead of the summer window.

Now, a fresh report has shed light on what the FC Copenhagen man wants to do this summer and whether Spurs are expected to make a move for him.

Roony Bardghji is open to a Tottenham Hotspur move

GiveMeSport have now claimed that Spurs have been handed a significant boost in the race for Bardghji’s signature as the Copenhagen man has now given indications that he is ready to move to N17.

With the teenager having just six months left on his contract, the Danish club are ready to cash in on him this summer, especially with no indications of a new contract being in the offing.

However, the outlet says that while Tottenham Hotspur have been long-term admirers of the Swede, it is unclear if they will make a move for him this summer.

The winger reportedly does not feature among the North London club’s priority wishlist leading into the summer window.

Spurs can sign Bardghji for a cut-price fee this summer

GiveMeSport say that the Lilywhites are currently contemplating whether to push ahead with a move for the versatile attacker.

Tottenham want to sign another winger to offer competition to the likes of Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Heung-min Son, and they believe that Bardghji will hold good value in the market due to his contract situation.

The publication asserts that the youngster could be available for as little as £10m, but Spurs may not have a free run at him, with Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa also keeping tabs on his situation.

Tottenham are not the only ones to have picked up a medal over the last week, with an on-loan Spurs youngster admitting that he was inspired by the senior side after playing a crucial role in his side’s cup win on Sunday.

The eyes of everyone associated with Tottenham Hotspur were glued to the Europa League final last Wednesday as the Lilywhites created history.

That includes academy centre-back, Alfie Dorrington, who, along with his Aberdeen teammates, had a cup final of their own just three days after the one in Bilbao.

Just like Tottenham, Aberdeen created history by shocking Celtic in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park, with the Spurs youngster confessing that he took inspiration from the events at San Mames.

Alfie Dorrington watched Tottenham’s Europa League final

Dorrington got 80 minutes under his belt as the Scottish Cup final finished in a 1-1 draw and he had to watch nervously from the bench as his side managed to keep Celtic out during extra time and proceeded to win the game in a penalty shootout.

The 20-year-old admitted that while he wished he was able to experience the night in Bilbao, the events at Hampden Park more than made up for it.

Donley said (via Football.London): “I watched the Tottenham [final] the other day. A few of my mates were there, they said it was crazy.

“It would have been nice to experience that, but the Aberdeen one was just crazy too. It more than made up for it. There were so many people there – it was packed.”

The Tottenham academy graduate admitted that he received a lot of good luck messages from his Spurs teammates ahead of the Scottish Cup final, even though they were busy basking in the glory of their Europa League success.

When asked if he received any messages from the staff and his teammates at Spurs, Dorrington said: “Yeah, they’ve kept in touch the whole time, especially on Friday night and before the game, they were just messaging me good luck.

“I think some of them watched the game. It’s just nice to know that I have the support from Tottenham and nice to know that I have the support from Aberdeen as well.”

Dorrington is open to an Aberdeen return

The season has ended on a high for a centre-back, who will arrive back at Hotspur Way with plenty of confidence, having thrived in his first taste of senior football.

Dorrington is highly rated by the coaches at Spurs and is seen as a first-team prospect, but the centre-back is open to returning to Aberdeen to gain more experience next season.

When asked about potentially returning to the Scottish club on loan next season, the Spurs man said: “Obviously, I love the city, I love the club, the staff, the players. I love Tottenham as well. They’re kind of in charge of what I do. I’d be grateful if Aberdeen came back in for me but it’s all in Tottenham’s hands.”

Tottenham fans are still basking in the glory of a long-awaited trophy triumph, but if silverware is to become a habit rather than a one-off, there is serious work to be done. Here are three things Tottenham must do to win a trophy again next season.

Tottenham Hotspur fans would never forget the last few days when they witnessed their club celebrate a trophy for the first time in 17 years.

It has been nothing but celebration, joy and elation all over N17 and for many fans, nothing would top that moment this year.

However, for every top football club, they do not just want to win once or twice now and then; they want to keep winning – they want sustained success, and that is the same for Tottenham.

Guglielmo Vicario has stated how much he believes this recent cup win will help change the mentality around Tottenham, as many fans and players now believe that Spurs can win things.

But what can the Lilywhites do to ensure they win a trophy again next season? Here are three things…

Ange Postecoglou decision key for early Tottenham transfers

Indeed, the first thing Tottenham have to get out of the way is who takes charge of this group next season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Ange Postecoglou has proven he can win things, but his Premier League performance leaves an asterisk over his credentials, given how low Spurs finished in the league – 17th place.

The Tottenham hierarchy would need to decide soon and fast on the manager they want in charge at the Spurs dugout next season, with this allowing for the club to begin their transfer dealings early and on time.

The summer window is set to open earlier than usual, and with the UEFA Super Cup also a competition Tottenham are competing in, early signings would greatly improve their chances of making it two European trophies in three months.

Tottenham must invest in Champions League-level experience

If Tottenham are going to give themselves a chance of competing on every front next season, they simply need better players with experience playing in the Champions League.

Postecoglou has already made it clear that he wants Tottenham to sign players with experience playing in Europe’s elite competition and players with experience in the league.

Tottenham have been heavily linked with Leroy Sane, which is a good sign as he fits this bill, given his European and Premier League pedigree, having played for Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Having these experienced players would allow for the club to rotate and still play at a high level without a drop off in quality – something that would be crucial if they are to make a deep run in cup competitions and maintain a high level in the league.

Spurs must solve injury crisis to compete on all fronts

One thing that severely derailed Tottenham’s season last campaign was the injury crisis that saw over ten first-team players sidelined at the same time.

In fact, while it looked like they had seen the back of those crises, right before the Europa League final, several key players – including James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski – found themselves on the treatment table.

Something has to change and fast. There have been reports of Spurs undergoing serious changes from within and the medical department is one expected to undergo a significant overhaul, that is very much needed.

While that is done, it sure would not be enough as Tottenham would need a bigger squad, given the likelihood that these players would play close to 70 games next season.

If the club is to balance it all and compete on all fronts, then quality depth and squad rotation would be very vital.
