Ange Postecoglou confirms £8.5m Tottenham talent will ‘definitely’ play vs Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur travel to the south coast to take on Southampton in the Premier League.
One win in eight has pushed Spurs dow🔯n to a terrible position. They are 11th in the 𓂃 and ninth in the Europa League, which is simply not good enough.
Ange Postecoglou blasted Timo Werner and demanded𝕴 more from him and꧃ other senior Tottenham stars following his side’s frustrating 1-1 draw against Rangers midweek.
Southampton are up next for the Nort🏅h Londoners, and Spurs fans are ‘definitely’ going to ඣsee one exciting player on the pitch, confirmed Postecoglou.
Ange Postecoglou says Lucas Bergvall will ‘definitely’ play for Tottenham vs Southampton
Tottenham signed Lucas Bergvall from Djurgarden for ꧟£8.5 million ✤earlier in 2024 ().
The teenager was viewed by many club💃s as a huge t🌟alent. He was of interest to several clubs, including Barcelona, but Bergvall chose Tottenham instead.
It’s never ideal to throw an 18-year-old into the team and ask him to deliver, but injuries ha﷽ve given Spurs very little choice.
To add to t🤡hat, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are both suspended for the game against Southampton on Sunday.
After an excellent display from Bergvall against Rangers, Postecoglou 𝓀has decided to𓆏 give him more minutes against the Saints.
He said in his press conference, as per : “He has done really well and obviously with Biss and Rodri out, he is definitel💫y in the picture for us to use at the weekend.
“He will definitelไy play, whether he starts or comes on.
“Yeah, really pleased for him that with him and Archie, we have got two 18-y꧑ear-olds who feel like they can contribute in a meaningful way, which as I said before is exciting.”

Should Bergvall start for Tottenham against Southampton?
Postecoglou has been really upset 🔯with some of his senior players recently.
Werner was publicly criticised for his display against Rangers, but Postecoglou has since demanded his other sen🅷ior stars to st𓆉ep up as well.
To add to that, injuries and suspensions have left Tottenham really short of options.
Starting Bergvall against Southampton would be a big call, especially as another teenager is expected to start as well – Archie Gray.
However, 💫we think the young Swede showed enough against Rangers to earn himself a starting spot at the St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.
