The news, reported tonight by , means Tottenham end the window by making another signing to add to the additions of Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner in this current window.

Ornstein has reported how a deal worth around £8m and more in add-ons has been agreed, with Bergvall set to sign a five-year deal and fly to England on Friday to finish the deal.

A huge signing by Tottenham

It’s not that he will come into the first-team and have an immediate impact but the fact a player has chosen Spurs over Barcelona shows the strides the club are making.

Tottenham are an attractive proposition now under Postecoglou and it’s clear that Bergvall has been impressed with what he has seen.

For Spurs and Daniel Levy, this will feel like a massive coup and shows that right now, few clubs in Europe can touch the lure of the Premier League.

Spurs fans, too, will be delighted with this one. They’ve signed one of the top talents in Europe and done so by beating one of the world’s biggest clubs.

The window has been a massive success for Tottenham overall and the fans can now look forward to an exciting finish to the season.
