Liverpool are eyeing an astonishing deal for an extremely highly-rated Tottenham Hotspur youngster in January.
Tottenham Hotspur are not blessed with as many world-class players as they were a few years ago.
However, they have some outstanding young talents in their squad who are making major strides and have the potential to become world-class in the future.
One of those is Lucas Bergvall, who has been branded a future star in the Spurs midfield by some pundits, but he may complete a shock exit from North London in January.
Liverpool ready to make a big offer for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall
According to a report in Fichajes, Liverpool are now ready to launch an offensive on the Spurs teenager in the upcoming transfer window.
The Merseyside club have noticed Bergvall’s enormous growth over the last 18 months and have set him as a priority target.
The Reds are looking to sign the best young players in a bid to gradually overhaul their squad, and Bergvall fits the bill for what they are looking for.
It is alleged that Liverpool are willing to put a bid of €60m (£52m) on the table for the 19-year-old, and that they have already begun negotiations with Spurs, even though it is at a preliminary stage at the moment.
Big internal debate ongoing at Spurs about Bergvall
Fichajes say that Tottenham see Bergvall as ‘one of the pillars of the team’ in the future and have no intention of letting him go.
However, an offer worth £52m ‘complete changes the situation’ and forces the Lilywhites to reconsider their stance.
There is a ‘big internal debate’ at Tottenham over Bergvall, as cashing in on the midfielder could give the club greater flexibility to strengthen their squad in January.
