LONDON (AP) \u2014 Sweden midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new long-term deal with Tottenham after reportedly telling the club in the offseason that he wanted to leave.<\/p>\n

Tottenham announced the new deal Friday but did not disclose details. Bergvall\u2019s previous contract was set to expire in 2031.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Bergvall had drawn interest from Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re building something great here,\u201d Bergvall said in a Tottenham statement. \u201cIt\u2019s an exciting time for the club and that\u2019s why I\u2019m happy to extend my contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bergvall has made 80 appearances in all competitions since joining the Spurs from Swedish club Djurgarden in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe his best football is still ahead of him and we want to give Lucas the platform to reach his full potential,\u201d Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi said.<\/p>\n

At the World Cup, Bergvall came on as a substitute for Sweden against Tunisia, Japan and the Netherlands and started in a 3-0 loss to France in the round of 32.<\/p>\n
