Lucas Bergvall, a 20-year-old Swedish midfielder, is set to leave Tottenham Hotspur after two years and join Sunderland for a fee of €66 million plus bonuses. Bergvall failed to establish himself at Tottenham due to increasing competition and a need for playing time. Sunderland, managed by Régis Le Bris, submitted the winning bid, beating out Newcastle United (who had offered €54M) and Nottingham Forest. The transfer is expected to be completed this summer, with Bergvall choosing to continue his career in the Premier League with the Black Cats.
