Tottenham reached an agreement last February with Swedish side Djurgårdens that Bergvall would join them last July.

“Then with [Rodrigo] Bentancur, [Yves] Bissouma and [James] Maddison, and now with Wilson [Odobert] coming on — and Deki [Dejan Kulusevski] will definitely end up in there — we’ve got some strong midfield options.

“While there’s work going on in the background around summer, I do feel that when we’ve got everyone available and the squad is at good strength, with that development, particularly with Lucas, we’re getting to a position where we’re stronger in that area, for sure.”

Postecoglou is pleased by the variety of profiles his midfielders offer.

“What I look for is they’ve all got different things they bring to the table, they’re not all like for like,” he said. “From that perspective, it gives us some good flexibility in options.”
