Nottingham Forest are reportedly turning up the heat in their pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, with The Telegraph claiming the club are preparing an improved bid to try to prise the Swede away from north London.
According to the report, Spurs have placed a hefty £50m valuation on Bergvall, reflecting how highly they rate the young midfielder despite interest from elsewhere. Forest are understood to see him as a key target as they look to strengthen their midfield options, and the increased offer suggests they are determined not to let the asking price deter them.
Whether Tottenham are willing to do business at that figure remains to be seen, with no indication yet that a deal is close to being agreed. For now, this is very much a transfer situation in motion rather than a done deal, but Forest's reported willingness to meet Spurs' valuation shows the scale of their ambition this summer as they push to bolster their squad with a player they clearly view as a difference-maker.
