It may not be the case at this point, but the future is bright for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou may be overseeing a horrifying domestic campaign this season.
For example, sensational Mikey Moore and Wilson O’Dobert appear to be ready to fight it to be the successor to his son Heung Min. Dominique Solanke and Mattis Tell may be fighting to lead the line next season, with Mickey Van de Ben, DJED SPENCE and the extremely exciting Luka Visickovic potentially becoming defensive stubborns in the coming years.
Finally, North London mid-range could be really special, with one of its future stars already winning comparisons with Jude Bellingham.
Spurs ‘Future Midfield
Therefore, it is worth looking into the other two Spurs players that we will start with in the middle of the next few years before arriving at the player in question.

Football Fancast’s Chalkboard series presents tactical discussions centered around global games.
Now, assuming the team still plays midfielders of the three, the most defensive of them will definitely be Archie Grey.
Former Leeds United Gem joined the North Londoner for around £30 million last summer, playing an incredibly important role, mainly in his defense, despite turning 19.
Overall, he’s 19 times at centreback, seven times at right back, five times at left back and three times at defensive midfield, so short that he doesn’t make it completely clear where he’s playing.
But most of his game time came to the back four, but he is a midfielder in trade and wouldn’t be surprised to see him become “a future £100 million cm” how incredibly well he adapts to what he needed this year.
He spends most of the season as an offensive midfielder, thriving, when he first joined the club’s winger just before the Durham-born gem.
Eight of his 20-goal involvement, for example, comes from just 16 appearances in the middle with attack and centre.
Plus, he’s only 24 years old, so the Stockholm-born monster has time to get even better before reaching the peak of his most attacking midfielder.
It leaves another starting point in the middle of the park. This is a place for those who were promoted for a noble rating and compared to Bellingham.
Spurs Star compared to Bellingham
There are a few other talented midfielders, like James Madison and Pipe Matal Saar, that we haven’t mentioned yet, but in this example we’re talking about Lucas Bergboll.
The young Swedes have been seriously impressive ever since moving to Spurs in the summer. The first team appeared 40 times. In November 2023, Mattinson explained that it “similar to Bellingham.”
At the time, he argued that their similarities stem from the fact that teenagers “have raw and technical capabilities to adapt to any role.”
Bergvall’s versatility | |||
---|---|---|---|
position | game | the goal | assist |
Central midfield | twenty four | 1 | 3 |
Defensive midfield | 5 | 0 | 0 |
Attacks midfield | 4 | 0 | 0 |
Left midfield | 1 | 0 | 0 |
All statistics through the transfer market |
For example, of his 40 appearances, 24 people in the central area, five in the defensive midfield, four attacking midfield, and even one appeared in the left midfield, helping to prove he was a talent for “Uber Complete.”
Plus, in addition to his five-goal involvement, the Stockholm-born gem has some great foundation figures since last year, demonstrating his ability to do everything similar to the Real Madrid star.
According to FBREF, he is in the top 1% of the top 5 leagues of Europe, with top 2% of fines for successful take-ons, top 4% of tackles in the third place, top 7% of tackles and intercepts, top 3rd and third, and even top 11% per 90.
Ultimately, the Swedish phenomenon appears to be destined to develop into a world-class central midfielder who can even blow away the future “£80 million” price tag Matinson, who predicted him in 2023.
