Nottingham Forest have seen a first bid rejected for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall.
The Swedish midfielder is currently enjoying some downtime after helping Sweden to the knockout stages of the World Cup.
⭐Would you be happy with the £45m signing of Lucas Bergvall to replace Elliot Anderson? Is he right for Forest? 🤔

However, his future is up in the air with Roberto De Zerbi splashing the cash on Manuel Fernandes and Sandro Tonali this summer.
Bergvall has been a big part of the Tottenham team over the past two years, but now he could be on the move, with Forest keen to take him.
Nottingham Forest bid £38m for Lucas Bergvall
The talented midfielder has been the subject of a £38 million bid, according to The Telegraph, with Tottenham immediately rejecting it.
However, it’s been claimed that the Reds are going straight back in with another bid for the 20-year-old.
It’s believed that Forest want to sign the youngster as a replacement for Elliot Anderson and consider him the number one target for that void.
The Reds are in need of midfield reinforcements as Oliver Glasner looks to bolster his options in the middle of the pitch.
Forest are also set to sign Xaver Schlager on a free transfer, and very soon the club’s options through the middle could look a lot healthier.
Bergvall has been called ‘unstoppable’ by Pep Guardiola previously, and this would surely be a decent signing for the Reds if the club can pull it off.
It remains to be seen what level of bid it will take for Tottenham to sell their player, and the hope will be that Forest can make a quick breakthrough in time for next week’s pre-season trip to Portugal.
