AliousTottenham supporters got their first glimpse of new signing Lucas Bergvall in a friendly against Hearts on Wednesday.
A recent statistic suggests there’s cause for optimism, as Bergvall tops the shooting rankings among U19 midfielders.
Spurs secured Bergvall’s signature in February, on his 18th birthday, reportedly beating Barcelona to the punch.
Bergvall described the choice between the two clubs as a difficult 50-50 decision, ultimately feeling Tottenham was the right next step for him.
Following Bergvall’s promising debut, a report from CIES Football highlights his exceptional shooting statistics.
The Swedish midfielder leads U19 midfielders across 70 top global leagues in this category, outperforming notable talents like Manchester City’s Claudio Echeverri, Bayern Munich’s Paul Wanner, and RB Leipzig’s Assan Ouedraogo.
While Bergvall’s shooting prowess wasn’t on display against Hearts, the report indicates he could offer both goal-scoring and creative threats for Tottenham.
This statistical excellence aligns with Tottenham’s new data-driven approach to recruitment.
The challenge for Bergvall now will be adapting to the physicality and pace of the Premier League compared to Sweden’s Allsvenskan.
Would you like me to elaborate on any aspect of this news or discuss Tottenham’s youth prospects further?
