JUST NOW: Tottenham claimed to have a player that is a combination of two barcelona key players
Tottenham Hotspur signed Lucas Bergvall from Djurgardens during the January transfer window.
The 18-year-old midfielder has been sent back on loan at the Swedish club and he will join up with the North London outfit at the end of the season.
The CEO of Futbol Gran Canaria, Kevin Perez heaped praise on the new Tottenham signing. Perez revealed in an interview with Marca that the Tottenham midfielder is a combination of Frenkie De Jong and Pedri. Both Barcelona midfielders are regarded as world-class players and that is huge praise for the Tottenham signing.
He said: “Physically and football-wise he bears a great resemblance to Frenkie de Jong. And not only because of that blonde hair. Also because of the way he drives the ball with his head high and his elegant stride when driving. Tactically I would say that he has things like Pedri : he understands the game well, enjoys between the lines and knows at all times where his teammates are.”
Bergvall is a technically gifted central midfielder and he could prove to be a solid, long-term prospect for the north London club in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly and make an immediate impact next season. He is expected to be a part of the first-team squad next season.
Spanish giants Barcelona were very keen on securing his services during the January transfer window, but Tottenham managed to beat them to his signature. They convinced the 18-year-old that a move to England would be better for his development in the coming seasons.
Tottenham have not put together an impressive pool of young talent at the club for the future and it remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou can get the best out of these prodigious talents.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has chosen the most skilful teammate at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 26-year-old midfielder picked Manor Solomon as the most skilful player at the club right now. The Israeli winger has been unfortunate with injury problems since joining the club and he has played a total of 280 minutes of first-team football at Tottenham.
He showed his quality during a loan spell at Fulham last season and he will be hoping to make his mark at Tottenham now. There is no doubt that the 24-year-old was an impressive player for Fulham and he could be an important squad player for Tottenham as well.
However, few would have expected Maddison to choose him as the most skilful Tottenham player right now. The North London club are blessed with a number of technically gifted players including Maddison himself.
Maddison said (h/t Chris Cowlin): “In terms of actual skills, tricks and quick feet I’d probably say Manor Solomon, one of the sharpest players I’ve ever seen.”

in addition to the England international, Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil and Richarlison are all exceptionally skilful players.
Maddison’s comments will certainly get the Tottenham fans excited about Solomon. It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old can establish himself as a regular starter for the North London in the coming months.
He is yet to enter the peak of his career and there is no reason why he cannot be an important member of the first team squad, if he can get over his injury problems.
