'Here we go' - Fabrizio Romano gives dramatic late Tottenham transfer update

Tottenham Hotspur have beaten Catalan giants Barcelona to the signing of Swedish wonderkid Lucas Bergvall in the dying moments of Deadline Day.

News of the signing was broken on Sky Sports with less than an hour left of the January transfer market with a medical scheduled to take place in London on Friday. Spurs are completing the bureaucracy around the transfer to tie the player down, but the move will only be processed when the summer window opens.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the news online and said: "Lucas Bergvall to Tottenham, here we go! Barcelona have just been told from player’s camp that he changed his mind and he will join Spurs. #THFC ready to pay more than €10m to Djugården with add-ons, agreement done. Medical will take place on Friday."

Ange Postecoglou's side fought off 'stiff competition' from Barcelona to add the cherry on top of an impressive January transfer window cake which has seen Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin arrive as marquee signings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The rising star currently plays for Djurgarden in Sweden and has previously trialled with Manchester United. His recent emergence is said to have turned the heads of clubs across Europe

The midfielder began his career at IF Brommapojkarna in Sweden and made the move to Djurgarden in December 2022. The player made his first start in May 2023 and immediately earned praise from press in the nation as 'Djurgarden's biggest transfer ever'.

Djurgarden's sporting director, Bo Andersson, recently said: "I can confirm that we have been in contact and dialogue with Barcelona, but it's not a negotiation yet. There was some contact with Barcelona last week but this week we haven't spoken to them."
