Newcastle are now 11/10 to sign Lucas Bergvall after the summer transfer window. Get the latest transfer odds movement, market predictions, and analysis.
Newcastle have been pushed in to 11/10 with Paddy Power in the Lucas Bergvall Club After Summer Transfer Window market, with the Magpies now level-pegging as the frontrunners to land the Tottenham midfielder before the deadline.
Newcastle have been backed into 11/10 (Paddy Power) to be Lucas Bergvall's club after the summer transfer window, with Live Score UK and Skybet matching that price.
Tottenham are pushing for a £60m fee after knocking back an initial £46m offer for the Sweden midfielder.
Bergvall has requested a move away from north London in search of regular first-team football.
Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi says the 20-year-old must show the "right spirit" to fight for his place if he stays.
Here's the short version: Bergvall wants to play, and right now he can't be sure he will. He was restricted to 17 starts for Tottenham across the 2025–26 campaign, and the summer arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes have only stiffened the competition in the middle of the park. That's the engine behind this whole move - a young central midfielder chasing regular first-team minutes in his preferred role, and a Spurs side that will let him go if their number is met. On 18 August 2026, Tottenham signalled they'd sell provided their £60m valuation is hit before the 1 September deadline.
The market reaction makes sense once you follow the money. Newcastle are the club driving this — Sports Mole report the Magpies are leading the race, and they're rebuilding their central midfield after a summer of turnover that included Tonali's move to Spurs for up to £100m. A concrete need, a willing seller, and a player who wants out is exactly the combination that shortens a price, and that's why Newcastle betting odds now sit at 11/10 with Paddy Power while Spurs still head the market as the side who could keep him if nobody meets the ask.

Who is favourite to sign Lucas Bergvall this summer?
Tottenham sit at the top of the Lucas Bergvall Club After Summer Transfer Window market at 7/10 with Live Score UK, reflecting the very real chance that Spurs simply hold firm and keep him if no buyer meets the £60m asking price. Newcastle are the ones with momentum, though, closing to 11/10 as the club leading the race, with Nottingham Forest — who have already had an approach turned down — and Brighton making up the rest of the shortlist. Here's how the four main contenders shape up.
Tottenham – 7/10 (Live Score UK): still a strong option to retain their midfielder if suitors fail to hit the valuation.
Newcastle – 11/10 (Paddy Power): the club driving the race and the biggest mover in the market.
Nottingham Forest – 2/1 (Live Score UK): actively tracking Bergvall after an initial approach was rebuffed.
Brighton – 3/1 (Skybet): the outsider of the quartet but firmly in the conversation.

Where will Lucas Bergvall sign next?
Everything now points to a sprint to the 1 September deadline. Negotiations between Newcastle and Tottenham are expected to intensify, with the Magpies pushing to close the gap on Spurs' £60m valuation — and De Zerbi has been clear that any departing player must see his full price met before he's allowed to leave. That's the crux of it: the fee, not the player's willingness, is the last hurdle. Bergvall wants regular football, Newcastle want a midfielder to rebuild around, and the price has moved to reflect it. If the two clubs bridge the gap in time, the 11/10 on Newcastle looks like the most likely outcome to land — but with Spurs holding firm on their number, this one could still go to the wire.
