What's behind the move?

Bergvall has been linked with several clubs, including Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest, after asking to leave Tottenham.

Why Brighton & Hove Albion?

Eckerman believes Brighton & Hove Albion could be a good fit for Bergvall, citing the club's positive environment and recent success, having finished 8th in the Premier League with 53 points, 14 wins, 11 draws, and 13 losses from 38 games. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League standing | 8th | | Points | 53 | | Goal difference | +6 | Bergvall's contract at Tottenham runs until 2031, and he is valued at €35m by Transfermarkt.

What comes next?

The midfielder will decide on his future after the World Cup, with Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest emerging as potential suitors. Bergvall played 1,465 minutes from 35 matches last season, managing a goal and five assists. As of July 1, 2026, Brighton & Hove Albion are 32 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League title race, but a successful transfer window could help bridge the gap.
