The player, who fell to the fringes of the Spurs squad last season, was reported by Standard Sport in July to be frustrated by a lack of opportunities in his preferred position and to have asked for a move away from the club.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi later told a press conference that Bergvall was free to leave if he wished, and media outlets linked the youngster heavily with a possible transfer to Nottingham Forest.

In a surprise development, Tottenham announced in September that Bergvall had signed a "bumper" new contract, committing his services to the club through 2031 and receiving a substantial pay rise.

Speaking after the announcement, Bergvall said he never tried to force a transfer, adding that he let "time do the talking" and has always maintained a good dialogue with the club. He declined to reveal contract details, describing them as personal, but said he was "incredibly happy" with the new deal.

Tottenham have struggled at the start of the new season, sitting bottom of the Premier League and already eliminated from the Carabao Cup, making the long‑term commitment of a promising young player a notable boost for the club’s rebuilding plans.
