Nottingham Forest have identified Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall as a potential replacement for Elliot Anderson.<\/p>\n

The Athletic reported earlier on Sunday<\/a> that Bergvall\u2019s preference is to move on from Tottenham and seek a new challenge this summer \u2014 and his situation has alerted suitors in England and beyond.<\/p>\n

Forest are interested in a deal as they consider a future without Anderson, who has been the subject of bids from Manchester City<\/a> and interest from their rivals Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa, meanwhile, previously expressed an interest in Bergvall and remain admirers of the 20-year-old, but are not actively looking at a midfield acquisition without first making a sale. In their midfield department, they have Amadou Onana, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans, the latter of whom is entering the final two years of his contract. While Villa hope to renew Tielemans\u2019 deal, the 29-year-old does have interest from elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Bergvall is under contract at Spurs until 2031.<\/p>\n

He is at the World Cup with Sweden and has made two substitute appearances, providing an assist in their opening 5-1 win over Tunisia.<\/p>\n

Tottenham fended off interest from Villa and Chelsea for the midfielder in the winter window, as both clubs made direct contact with the north London side before it was made clear they did not intend to consider his departure.<\/p>\n

Since head coach Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s arrival in March, Bergvall was given one start against Sunderland but only tallied 54 minutes in substitute appearances thereafter.<\/p>\n

This summer, Tottenham have opened talks with Newcastle United over Sandro Tonali<\/a>, and are also in pursuit of West Ham United\u2019s Mateus Fernandes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bergvall arrived in north London from Swedish side Djurgarden in 2024 and has made 78 appearances since. In his first season, he was Tottenham\u2019s player of the year and helped them win the 2025 Europa League, the team\u2019s first trophy in 17 years.<\/p>\n
