Lucas Bergvall excited about Tottenham’s ‘really good squad’ after winning start

Lucas Bergvall is excited about Tottenham’s “really good squad” and happy to continue being Thomas Frank’s utility man.

Bergvall played 80 minutes of Spurs’ 3-0 Premier League victory over Burnley on Saturday after being introduced late on in the midweek Super Cup penalty shootout loss to Paris St Germain.

Frank has used different systems in both fixtures and turned to central midfielder Bergvall as a number 10 option in their league opener in the absence of long-term injured duo James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

After an assured display against Burnley, Bergvall will hope to be involved in Saturday’s trip to Manchester City and insisted confidence was high after a summer where additions Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha had raised the level of the squad.

“We take every game at a time, we want Champions League of course, we want to win everything but every week is a new game so we take it one at a time,” Sweden international Bergvall said.

“We know what we can do. We’re a really, really good squad and last year we won 4-0 away (at Man City). It’s still a really tough game and we need to be ready.”

Bergvall, 19, almost scored inside 60 seconds against Burnley and despite being the furthest midfielder forward for large periods, he relished the challenge of trying to break down a back-five.

Asked where he preferd to play, Bergvall said: “I don’t know, it’s up to the gaffer. I can play both. Whatever he wants.

“It was difficult to find space against a back-five, but I feel like sometimes when I come a bit deeper and drive with the ball up the pitch, it’s good.”
