Overview
- Chelsea and Aston Villa made direct contact in January about Lucas Bergvall, but Spurs rebuffed the approaches, according to reporting by David Ornstein.
- Club sources made clear there was no intention to consider a departure and the discussions did not progress beyond initial enquiries.
- Interest sharpened after Bergvall saw reduced starts and was used out wide under Thomas Frank during the first half of the season.
- Frank has since been dismissed and Igor Tudor has taken over on an interim basis, a change expected to prompt fresh monitoring ahead of the summer.
- Bergvall is currently sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in January, adding uncertainty to his short‑term involvement while recovery continues.
