Lucas Bergvall's birthday: A look at his time in North London so far | OneFootball

Today marks the 19th birthday for Tottenham Hotspur's Lucas Bergvall, whom got the perfect birthday present with a 2-0 win away to Brentford on match day twenty four of the Premier League season.

To mark the occasion, let's look back on his time at the club so far, as well as a look ahead as to what is to come in the future years.

Looking at Lucas Bergvall's Spurs career on his birthday

It was actually on the player's 18th birthday, a year ago today - where he decided to join the club from Djurgardens IF ahead of the summer, turning down a move to Spanish giants Barcelona to give Spurs his signature. With it, there was plenty of excitement.

After spending the next few months at Djurgardens, Bergvall joined Spurs ahead of the 24/25 season. The youngster looked bright in pre-season, registering assists in friendlies against Hearts and Bayern Munich.

On opening weekend of the Premier League season, he came on as a sub away to Leicester City, being berated by Guglielmo Vicario for a mistake - but also creating a big chance for Richarlison in stoppage time, which he unfortunately could not take.

Nevertheless, he had impressed enough to get a call up to the Sweden national team in September. He then made his first start of the season away to Coventry City in the Carabao Cup. His next start came at home to Qarabag in the Europa League, but was withdrawn early on due to a Radu Dragusin red card.

After coming on away to Manchester United at Old Trafford on the 29th September, his corner was flicked on by Pape Sarr, and bundled home by Dominic Solanke, to make it 3-0. His first competitive assist for the club came in a 2-1 win in the Europa League away to Ferencvaros, four days later, where he teed up Sarr in the first half.

His most impressive performance up until then came in a 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. The Sweden international impressed both on and off the ball, and won the penalty for the decisive goal.

After that, Bergvall had to be a bit more patient, often coming off the bench, before playing 90 minutes away to Southampton in mid December for his first league start of the campaign. However, in 2025, he has found himself a regular in the side, with the win at Brentford today the first time he has not started in the league this year.

His best moment, however, was undoubtedly in the Carabao Cup semi final first leg. After a superb run in behind and hold up play from Solanke, he flicked the ball into Bergvall's path, who calmly slotted a side footed finish into Alisson's near post. He had played superbly all night too, and would have had an assist if not for better finishing from Pedro Porro.

It is clear to see that Ange really likes the player, and we can be sure he will get plenty of game time from here. We saw him (and Archie Gray, another player 18 on the night) collapse to the floor after the win at Hoffenheim. It shows how many minutes he is going to play that he did not start the game against Brentford, with Ange likely having an eye on the Carabao Cup semi final second leg on Thursday.
