Tottenham rejects £46m Newcastle bid for midfielder Lucas Bergvall

Tottenham Hotspur have turned down a reported £46 million offer from Newcastle United for 20‑year‑old Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall. Bergvall, who entered the club in 2024 for £8.5 million, has informed Tottenham of his desire to leave after limited starts last season and the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. Nottingham Forest have also been linked with the player, having submitted an initial £38‑£40 million bid that was rejected, and they are preparing a second offer. Atletico Madrid were reported to be monitoring Bergvall, but the £50 million valuation set by Tottenham is seen as a barrier. Reports suggest Tottenham may have offered the player to Newcastle as part of high‑level talks aimed at raising funds following recent signings. The transfer saga remains unresolved, with both Newcastle and Forest expected to increase their offers if the player’s request persists.
