Tottenham technical director Lange explains transfer policy; Bergvall deal

Tottenham technical director Johan Lange has reiterated their youth ambitions.

The North London club have never been known for bringing through great young talents.

However, Lange wants to change that in the coming years, which will be pleasing for supporters to hear.

He stated that coach Ange Postecoglou's first-team squad will include many young talents in the summer, including Lucas Bergvall.

Asked about the teenager, Lange told reporters: "First of all we want to be a destination for the best young talent out there.

"That can be talent coming into our academy in the foundation phase, or later being developed [when] coming through the academy. Or, as in the case, of Lucas it can be a player we decide to try to buy from a club abroad, in this case Djugardens.

"Lucas is a very mature player, despite just turning 18. He's a box-to-box midfielder, very good in possession, been able to control the game and the same out of possession, he has a good work rate.

"For his age, he's mature as a person. On top of that he has a very good family and support network around him. He has great potential. He will join in the summer and be part of the first-team squad. But it's for him just to adapt to this new environment and take things step by step."
