” INCREDIBLE”: Tottenham snatches a tremendous deal from Barcelona; phenomenal player may arrive at Hotspur Way

Tottenham are set to invite Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall to visit their Hotspur Way training ground as they look to lure him to the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The Djurgardens IF 17-year-old is also a target of Barcelona, who are rolling out the red carpet to try and persuade him to join this year.

It is believed that Barca are willing to pay £6million plus £2.5million in add-ons for the central midfielder, but Tottenham are in the frame to hijack the deal and are keen to hold talks at the training ground.

Djurgardens gave permission for Bergvall to visit Barcelona on Tuesday and have lunch with sporting director Deco along with members of his family.

Bergvall has impressed clubs across Europe with his displays in the Swedish top flight and is expected to make a move to a top European league.

He has racked up three goals and one assist across 28 appearances in all competitions.

The 2006-born ace joined Djurgardens in December 2022 and has been widely considered one of Sweden’s best young prospects.

The box-to-box midfielder has been hailed for his for his passing and technical ability.

Having made regular appearances for Sweden’s youth sides, he made his debut for the senior team earlier this month in a 2-1 friendly victory against Estonia.

Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League and were most recently eliminated from the FA Cup against Man City on Friday evening (26 January).

They are next in action at home against Brentford on Wednesday evening (31 January).

Bags packed: Tottenham set to complete double deal after talks breakthrough – sources

Tottenham are confident that they will complete the signings of Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner in the next 48 hours, sources have told Football Insider.

It is believed that Werner’s loan move from RB Leipzig has been fully agreed and he is undergoing a medical after arriving in London on Monday (8 January).

The permanent signing of Dragusin is also now in its final stages and the deal for the Genoa centre-back is now all but done following a breakthrough in talks.

Spurs have offered the Serie A side an initial £21.5million for the Romania international as well as an extra £4.3million in add-ons.

If a full agreement can be secured, both players could be Tottenham players in the next 48 hours in what would be an impressively agile start to the January window for the club.

Dragusin is primed to pack his bags and follow Werner in heading to London for what would likely be a medical as soon as a full agreement in placed.

Werner has netted just two goals across 14 appearances in Germany this season but is eager for a return to the Premier League and to reignite his career in London.

It comes as star man and captain Heung-min Son is absent at the Asia Cup for potentially more than a month in a devastating blow to Tottenham’s already stretched resources, with playmaker James Maddison also a long-term absentee.

Moreover, Tottenham have been in desperate need of further depth in their backline following serious injuries to key players, including Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies.

They also look set to lose defender Eric Dier in January, with Football Insider revealing (5 January) that he has agreed a sensational move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Spurs also remain active in trying to sell midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but sources have told Football Insider (8 January) that his move to Juventus has hit the rocks due to his loan fee.

Tottenham advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup after their 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday (5 January) and next face Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday (14 January).
