Lucas Bergvall, a star player for Tottenham Hotspur, has been told to wait for further Premier League opportunities after playing just 46 minutes this season under Ange Postecoglou.
The 18-year-old, who arrived in North London in the summer, has had few opportunities to make an impression since moving from Djurgarden to Spurs in an £8.5 million transfer. He has made four brief appearances off the bench thus far.
But according to Swedish writer Olof Lundh, Bergvall’s situation at Tottenham is “pointing in the right direction.” He just needs to have “a little patience” for any further top-flight opportunities.
Players moving from Allsvenskan to the Premier League and finding a spot is extremely uncommon.
You must exercise some patience if you are so young, even though he has made significant progress and hasn’t played many top-level games, even in Sweden.
As a bonus, if you are his age, you get to watch every minute of the first season. Everything is still moving in the proper way.
On Thursday night, Postecoglou’s team defeated AZ Alkmaar 1-0 at home to record their third victory of the Europa League season, giving the 18-year-old his fourth start in a Spurs shirt.
After Bergvall was fouled inside the box in the 53rd minute, Richarlison scored the game-winning penalty kick.
However, twenty minutes after being spotted clutching his leg, the Swedish sensation was ejected from the pitch. Postecoglou later disclosed that the 18-year-old, who hasn’t played any first-team football this season, was “just cramping up.”
Mikey Moore, a standout left winger in the close win, was one of the Spurs youngsters who the Australian strategist said the continental games “are a great foundation” for.
In his eighth appearance of the season, Bergvall made three tackles and won four of his seven ground duels while completing 91% of his passes and playing defence.
