Spurs' Bergvall exploring options away from club

Sweden's Lucas Bergvall is facing an uncertain future at Tottenham with the midfielder keen for a new challenge.

The 20-year-old is exploring his options after playing limited minutes at the end of last season under Roberto de Zerbi, often not in his preferred position as a 'number six'.

Spurs are also understood to be targeting an additional midfielder and have made an offer of about £80m for Newcastle's Sandro Tonali, which was rejected.

Bergvall's representatives are believed to have held talks with Aston Villa , Nottingham Forest and Chelsea .

However, Chelsea are no longer interested after briefly exploring a move in January.

Bergvall is at the World Cup and featured in Sweden's 5-1 defeat by the Netherlands in Houston on Saturday.

He played 33 games for Spurs last season but missed two months after having ankle surgery.
