Tottenham wrapping up Bergvall deal; send Veliz to Sevilla

Tottenham have pulled off a transfer coup by securing a young midfielder on deadline day.

The Premier League giants are set to sign midfielder Lucas Bergvall from Swedish side Djurgarden.

Spurs have ensured the 17-year-old picked them over other, more illustrious clubs.

Per the BBC, Bergvall will cost Spurs a fee approaching 8.5 million, which is a modest sum for a top flight club.

He had been linked to the likes of Barcelona, but has been assured of his first team path at Spurs.

The London club have also allowed 20-year-old striker Alejo Veliz to sign for Sevilla on loan for the rest of the season.
