Tottenham could repeat Lucas Bergvall trick as they eye another Swedish starlet

Wait 5 sec.

Following Lucas Bergvall’s success at Tottenham Hotspur, the North London club could now repeat the trick by poaching another exciting Swedish midfield starlet.Spurs beat Barcelona to the services of Bergvall back in 2004, with the Lilywhites hijacking the £8.5m deal after the youngster seemed destined for Catalonia.That already looks like one of the best bargains in the North London club’s history, with Tottenham rejecting offers just short of £50m for the midfielder in the recent summer window.The North London club are now looking to repeat the trick, as they eye another young Swede, who is also being tipped to reach the very top of the game.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramTottenham battling Arsenal and Chelsea for Swedish starlet Oliver ManssonAccording to a report in TEAMtalk, Tottenham have been impressed by 17-year-old IFK Goteborg midfielder Oliver Mansson.The central midfielder made his first-team debut aged 16 earlier this year, and he has already established himself as one of the most important cogs in the Goteborg side.Spurs have made checks on Mansson over recent weeks, but they face competition from their London rivals, with Arsenal and Chelsea also intrigued by the teenager’s potential.Additionally, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland are also keeping an eye on the talented midfielder ahead of the January window.It is revealed that Mansson’s maturity and technical ability have stood out to scouts of Premier League clubs.The consensus among talent spotters is that not only does the 17-year-old offer control, but he also has the physical profile to develop into a commanding presence in the middle of the park.Should Spurs repeat the Lucas Bergvall and Luka Vuskovic formula?Tottenham have had success in their strategy of signing young players and loaning them back out to their clubs so that they can continue developing.Bergvall spent six more months at Djurgarden before moving to North London, and in Luka Vuskovic’s case, following a spell back at Hajduk Split, he also had loan spells in Romania, Belgium and Germany.Spurs can perhaps use their sucessful strategy with Bergvall as evidence to convince Mansson and his representatives that a move to N17 would be the right step for his development.READ MORE: ‘Crucial figure’- Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr is pulling up trees with JuventusThe post Tottenham could repeat Lucas Bergvall trick as they eye another Swedish starlet appeared first on Spurs Web.
