Lucas Bergvall is setting his sights very high for the upcoming season, asserting that he wants to help Tottenham Hotspur win the Premier League title.
While some Spurs fans are understandably a little anxious at the lack of big names to arrive through the door this summer, there is certainly plenty of excitement around the youngsters that the club have acquired.
Bergvall is one of those, having already shown glimpses in pre-season of the kind of talent that saw him being heralded as one of the best young players to come out of Swedish football over recent years.
There were some concerns about the midfielder when he came off with an injury during the friendly against QPR but he was able to shake that off and play a part in Tottenham’s win over Vissel Kobbe on Saturday.
When asked about his injury, Bergvall told Football.London: “Yeah, everything is ok. It’s alright. It was just a little bit with my bone here (points to his hip). It was nothing, but just to be sure [I came off] to not get any worse.”
The 18-year-old faces a massive challenge in adapting to the Premier League, which represents a huge leap in quality compared to the Allsvenskan, and he admitted that the pace of the game has been considerably higher in his first few weeks at Spurs.
When asked about his early impressions, the teenager said: “It’s a lot faster! It’s what I expected. It’s new for me and I just want to get into it and learn as fast as possible.
“There’s a lot of new first impressions, of course, new people and guys on the team. I’ve been really excited to be here and train. It’s tough but fun of course. It’s been good. The first few days here have had a lot of training and I’ve been getting to know everyone in the group. It’s been good.”
Bergvall was not shy of setting his aims high when asked to outline his ambitions ahead of his first season at N17.
The midfielder said: “My first goal is to make my Premier League debut and then to come into the team and win something, to have a good season and qualify for the Champions League and also the goal is to win the league.”

This will be music to the years of Spurs fans. The fact that Bergvall is admitting this publicly is evidence that Postecoglou has made it clear to the players that they will be aiming to compete for the title this season.
