Chelsea makes late transfer window enquiry for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall

Chelsea has initiated contact with Tottenham Hotspur regarding the availability of midfielder Lucas Bergvall ahead of the 11 p.m. transfer deadline. Although Bergvall initially held discussions with manager Roberto De Zerbi and sporting director Johan Lange to remain at Tottenham, he is now reportedly open to a move to Chelsea. The midfielder featured in the season opener against Brentford and the match against Charlton Athletic but did not participate in last weekend’s fixture against Newcastle United. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is seeking additional midfield control, identifying the 20-year-old as a late target. Tottenham faces potential roster instability today, as the club is also expected to conclude the departure of midfielder Pape Matar Sarr to Juventus. It remains unclear if an agreement for Bergvall can be reached before the deadline closes.
