Ornstein revealed Villa contact with Spurs over the Swedish midfielder, with Chelsea also interested. Bergvall has told Spurs he wants to leave this summer and is keen on Villa Park, and Villa view him as a priority Tielemans replacement — though no formal Villa approach has been made. Competition is rising: Read Aston Villa reported July 15th that Nottingham Forest, seeking an Elliot Anderson replacement, have already had one bid rejected and are pressing to return, which could drive the price beyond Villa's comfort. Tottenham maintain he is not for sale, under contract to 2031.
