A lot of clubs could do with a player like him.“Tottenham beat a few clubs to bring him in in the first place, so if he’s going to move on, I expect you’ll have those same clubs having a look at him.“It’s going to be difficult for Spurs even if they don’t get relegated because if these top clubs come calling, the players are going to want to move on.Credit: Imago“Chelsea and Aston Villa asked about Bergvall before and that interest isn’t going to have faded, so I’m sure they’ll be keeping an eye on things.“If Chelsea come in with a new offer for him, there’s a good chance they’ll have to let him go.”Which other Spurs stars could be lured away?Tottenham have worked hard to keep a number of high-profile players at the club over the last few years, but could be hard pushed to keep up their efforts.Alongside Bergvall, a number of players including the likes of Destiny Udogie have previously been linked with move away, with Man City admirers of the left-back.As a result, Brown told Football Insider that Man City could accelerate a move for Udogie and finally look to capitalise on their long-term interest in him.Tottenham could lose Destiny Udogie.
