Ange Postecoglou exit would be unpopular with Tottenham star after new contract agreement
ESPN reporter James Olley has said that Ange Postecoglou played a pivotal role in one highly rated Tottenham star’s decision to commit his future to the club.
Even though the 2025-26 campaign ended in glory for Tottenham, it was an extremely challenging and gruelling season, with most Spurs stars failing to perform anywhere near their best.
However, one man stood head and shoulders above the rest, even though everything was seemingly falling apart around him: a 19-year-old who was getting his first taste of the Premier League.
Lucas Bergvall swept all of Tottenham’s end-of-season awards, which is an achievement he would not even have dreamt of last summer.
The midfielder was rewarded with a new contract for his efforts, and according to some reports, Bergvall is now among the highest-paid players at Tottenham after the renewal, which shows how highly he is valued by the North London club.
Ange Postecoglou’s role in Lucas Bergvall’s new Tottenham contract
There is no doubt that many top clubs around Europe would have stood up and taken notice of the Swede’s rise, which might be why Spurs hastily offered him a bumper deal ahead of the summer transfer window.
James Olley has now revealed that the 19-year-old, who missed the Europa League final with injury, is a big admirer of Postecoglou, revealing that the Spurs head coach played a key role in the midfielder putting pen to paper on a new deal
The journalist told ESPN FC: “There will be a lot of players who have done well, Lucas Bergvall is one, I know that he particularly has a lot of admiration for Postecoglou.
“He’s done a lot for him this year, broken into the team this season and signed a new contract. My understanding is that it came about because he was rewarded for the way he’s played and Postecoglou by all accounts the driving force behind that.”
What Bergvall has said about Postecoglou’s future
Over recent days, it has become clear that most media outlets expect Postecoglou to be sacked by Tottenham imminently.
The Swede is one of several players to have come out in support of the Spurs head coach, with Bergvall stating that Postecoglou “100 per cent” deserves to stay after the Europa League win.
We might find out very shortly what Daniel Levy has decided, as the Tottenham boss is now back from holiday.
