Tottenham Rebuff Chelsea and Aston Villa Approaches for Lucas Bergvall as Tudor Steps In

Tottenham retain control through a 2031 contract despite uncertainty over the midfielder’s role under interim coach Igor Tudor.

Overview

  • David Ornstein reports that Chelsea and Aston Villa made direct contact in January about Lucas Bergvall, but Tottenham made clear they would not consider a sale.
  • Bergvall’s reduced minutes and occasional use out wide under the now‑sacked Thomas Frank helped draw external interest from Premier League rivals.
  • The 20-year-old is currently sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in January, tempering any immediate transfer movement.
  • Thomas Frank has been dismissed and Igor Tudor has been appointed interim head coach, leaving Bergvall’s short‑term role to be determined.
  • Bergvall is tied to Spurs until 2031 after last year’s extension, and multiple outlets suggest his future could be tested again in the summer.
