Eintracht Frankfurt increasing efforts to try to sign Lucas Bergvall | OneFootball

Bild reports that Eintracht Frankfurt have stepped up their efforts in their attempt to sign Djurgårdens IF midfielder Lucas Bergvall.

As negotiations over a transfer fee continue with Djurgardens, Frankfurt have reportedly laid out a plan to Bergvall and his family on how he would develop at the club. Frankfurt can point to Bergvall’s compatriot Hugo Larsson who only joined Frankfurt in the summer but has immediately become a key piece in their squad.

Bergvall must decide whether he will join Frankfurt in the winter or move to a bigger club in the summer with Barcelona, Manchester United and Inter Milan all being linked with the 17-year-old.

The midfielder is dubbed as ‘the next Florian Wirtz’ in the report and at Frankfurt he will have the opportunity to play in a more attacking role if he is viewed as the permanent replacement for loanee Donny van de Beek or he can play in a deeper role similar to Larsson next to Ellyes Skhiri once he returns from the Africa Cup of Nations with Tunisia.
