Nottingham Forest have been heavily linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall.
Elliot Anderson is set to leave the City Ground in the coming days as he completes a move to Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest have quickly identified Lucas Bergvall as Anderson’s potential replacement, with the Spurs star keen to leave North London.
💰Who is YOUR dream signing to replace Elliot Anderson this summer?
The midfielder is set for a £116m move to Manchester City
There was a suggestion that Forest had a £43m bid rejected for Bergvall in recent days, so if that rumour is true, a second offer could be imminent.
That said, the potential transfer could now accelerate after last night’s development.
Lucas Bergvall’s World Cup campaign is over
Bergvall has been at the World Cup with Sweden, and he’s played a key role for Graham Potter’s side, featuring in all four games.
The Forest target started in the round of 32 clash against France last night, but unfortunately his nation were defeated 3-0.
The 20-year-old’s Sofascore statistics were commendable though, as he demonstrated real poise in possession.
- 66 minutes
- 85% pass accuracy
- 8 carries
- 4 defensive contributions
- 3 ground duels won
- 1 aerial duel won
- 6.7 match rating
Bergvall will now return to England, and more focus can be attributed to deciding his future and where it may lie.
A potential exit could now move at pace, with Forest chiefs able to hold talks over the project and personal terms.
It has been reported that Tottenham consider Bergvall not for sale, so he may have to push through the move.
Forest are also considering Man City’s Rico Lewis, who can operate as a midfielder and a full-back on either flank.
Lewis is valued at £25m by the Citizens, and the Tricky Trees have been labelled as ‘one to watch’.
