In his debut season at Tottenham in 2024/25, Lucas Bergvall played his way into one of Europe’s best young midfielders, with the Swede helping Tottenham to the Europa League title. Then came “everyday life” last season, where a tough ankle injury and 1 poor goal in 33 games mirrored Tottenham’s horribly weak season. This has not scared city rival Chelsea.
Still 20 years young, Bergwall is running around the World Cup arena and got around half an hour against Tunisia. According to well-informed Chelsea journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea have scouts who follow the midfielder during the World Cup, and his name will be suggested to new coach Xabi Alonso.

On Thursday, Jean-Paul Van Hecke’s transfer was completed. Talksports’ Ben Jacobs reports that the club have also made an enquiry about Mateus Fernandes, Manchester United’s top goal.
