The Swedish wonderkid <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/18th-birthday-lucas-bergvall-completes-tottenham-move-barcelona/bltecc486bc414e7cd5" target="_blank">completed his move to the Premier League</a> on his 18th birthday as he joined Tottenham Hotspur from Djurgarden for a reported €10 million (£9m/$11m). The youngster claimed that out of gut feeling, he took the decision to move to the English club and also revealed that he had a chat with compatriot and Spurs star Dejan Kulusevski before making the final call.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to <a href="https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/2BQb6a/lucas-bergvall-om-valet-av-tottenham?utm_medium=SocialEchobox&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1707136740" target="_blank">Sport Bladet</a>, the midfielder said, "It felt better in the stomach. They are both incredible clubs. It was a very difficult choice, it was 50-50 for a very long time, but it felt like the next step for me was Tottenham. It was not very easy to say no to Barcelona, it took a very long time to decide. It was a tough decision."When asked if he had a chat with Kulusevski, Bergvall said, "We talked a little before. In general, how the club works, how they work, how they train, what the days look like. It wasn't a persuasive talk like that. He just said the club was great and I noticed that when I got there. I got an incredible reception, it's a very family club but incredible people."

WHAT LUCAS BEGVALL SAID

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lucas-bergvall-tottenham-teenage-wonderkid-turned-down-barcelona/bltcb6b88d0ce0e832a" target="_blank">The teenager began his career at IF Brommapojkarna</a> and made his first-team debut at the age of 16. He joined Djurgarden in December 2022 and in the current season, he has made only one appearance for the club which came in a Europa Conference League qualifying game. On January 12, 2024, he made his international debut for Sweden against Estonia in an international friendly match.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ange Postecoglou's side will be next in action in the Premier League on Saturday as they take on Brighton. They are currently fifth in the league with 44 points from 23 matches. Bergvall is due to arrive at the club in the summer.
