Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract with the club, just three months after indicating he wanted to leave. The 20-year-old Sweden international had seen his playing time reduced following Roberto de Zerbi's arrival as manager towards the end of last season, prompting interest from several Premier League rivals. His decision to commit his future to Spurs marks a reversal after a turbulent period both for the player and the club.

Nottingham Forest had a £38m bid for Bergvall rejected by Tottenham over the summer, while Aston Villa and Chelsea also showed interest, but he has ultimately stayed on. This season he has featured for just 45 minutes in the Premier League. De Zerbi, who previously said he would not try to talk any player out of leaving against their wishes, admitted he had made mistakes in handling Bergvall amid Spurs' struggles to avoid relegation last term, and said he believes the midfielder's best football is still ahead of him.
