 Lucas Bergvall, 18, Tottenham 

The Swedish teenager Lucas Bergvall agreed an £8.5m move from Djurgården in February, before officially joining Tottenham this summer. Bergvall is an all-action midfielder, well suited to a No 8 role in Ange Postecoglou’s fluid Tottenham system. The 18-year-old, already capped once for his national side, is more than capable of winning back possession in the middle of the park, before playing the right pass for a further advanced teammate. Bergvall has impressed in pre-season and provided a smart assist for compatriot Dejan Kulusevski against Bayern Munich last weekend.
