Pape Matar Sarr drops exciting prediction over Tottenham signing as star singled out
Dominic Solanke might have become Tottenham’s record signing this summer but it’s the addition of another player that has excited Papa Matar Sarr. Lucas Bergvall, 18, has appeared in both of the club’s Premier League games this season, the 1-1 draw at Leicester and Saturday’s 4-0 win over Everton.
The Swedish midfielder signed from Djurgarden for £8.5million in the summer, having already been capped by the senior side at international level.
And despite only being given 11 minutes as the Toffees were humbled on Saturday, the teenager showed some nice touches after replacing James Maddison.

I really love his style,” said the Senegalese star, who made way for Djurgarden at Leicester.

Technically, he’s fantastic. He’s bound to be one of the world’s top players. He’s got all the assets. With work, he’ll get to the very top.”
Last month, Djurgarden hailed his new environment after signing a five-year deal. “It's an amazing place, amazing staff,” he said “I’m really happy to be here. It's been intense, it's been tough, but fun.”

Tottenham have spent more than £125million this summer, with Ange Postecoglou now having ample midfield options having signed Archie Gray from Leeds. But while Bergvall may find starting chances limited this summer, he’s already been bullish about where he sees himself in the XI.
The player agreed to move to the Premier League in February, but didn’t arrive at the club until July. And prior to moving to England, he told the Tottenham website: “I prefer to play to play as an eight, I would say. A box-to-box player, to have the ball at my feet.”
Bergvall made 18 appearances for Djurgarden in the 2023/24 campaign, scoring six times. And widespread predictions he would become the club’s record sale ultimately proved correct.
