Tottenham coach softens stance on Lucas Bergvall future

"It's all about Lucas Bergvall and his Tottenham. The person most in the spotlight is coach Roberto de Zerbi. I'd like him to stay with us," de Zerbi said on Wednesday, according to The Athletic.

As recently as last weekend, Tottenham's coach spoke out about the 20-year-old Swede. The Italian said:

Anyone who doesn't want to stay here must leave.

After Wednesday's training match against Sydney FC, a 4-2 victory for Tottenham after penalties when Bergvall played, the question came up again.

And de Zerbi kept a softer tone:

I think he has the potential to be a top player. But I don't want to convince anyone to stay. He can find his place if he stays with us.

However, the Tottenham coach also points out that he cannot guarantee the Swede a role where he starts every match.
