Bergvall wants move - but Forest still looking for additional midfielder

[Getty Images] BBC Sport understands Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who Nottingham Forest are set to make a £45m bid for, wants to move to the City Ground. The 20-year-old Sweden international played limited minutes at the end of last season under Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi, often not in his preferred number six position. Forest are believed to be looking for another midfielder in addition to Bergvall after Elliot Anderson's record-breaking move to Manchester City . But there will not be another 13-player £180m spree like last summer, with Forest looking to add quality over quantity. A goalkeeper is needed to support Matz Sels and John Victor, while a striker is also wanted to aid Chris Wood, who turns 35 in December, and Igor Jesus. When asked about the prospect of Bergvall joining the club during his first news conference as Forest boss on Thursday, Oliver Glasner did not directly refer to the midfielder but said: "I have one strength and weakness - it's impatience. Sometimes it's a strength, sometimes it's a weakness. "Of course, I would have hoped they already trained with us on the other side. "It's impossible because the players we're now talking to play at the World Cup so are still on vacation. I'm pretty convinced we will have a few players joining us in Portugal [on a training camp]." Bergvall played 33 games for Tottenham last season but missed two months after having ankle surgery.
