Lucas Bergvall ‘personally cancelled’ move to Eintracht Frankfurt before signing for Tottenham

Lucas Bergvall was on the radar of every big club in the winter window.

Barcelona seemed like the favourites to sign the young Swede. All things pointed in that direction, but Tottenham then swooped in.

Spurs refused to take no for an answer and Bergvall was convinced. He chose Spurs over Barcelona, and the move was made official last week,

Now, , reports that Bergvall rejected another club too before he put pen to paper over a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

That team is Eintracht Frankfurt, who were reportedly confident about signing the ‘‘ young Swede before Tottenham came into the picture.

The outlet writes that Bergvall ‘succumbed’ to the ‘financial temptations’ offered by Tottenham and ‘personally cancelled’ a move to Frankfurt as a result.

Tottenham deserve praise for signing Bergvall

What a difference a year makes.

Just 12 months ago, almost every Tottenham fan was having a go at Daniel Levy for poor recruitment and their inability to get the right players – for the present and the future.

Now, in the same window, Spurs managed to beat Bayern Munich to Radu Dragusin’s signature as well as bring in Lucas Bergvall ahead of Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Everything has changed at Tottenham now, and if they can keep this going, they will achieve something special under Ange Postecoglou.
