Tottenham Hotspur has turned down a £46m offer from Newcastle United for Lucas Bergvall, as reported by the Athletic. The young Swedish international is being considered as a potential replacement for Bruno Guimaraes, who could be on his way to Arsenal.

Newcastle's summer has been challenging, highlighted by significant player movements:

• Anthony Gordon sold to Barcelona
• Sandro Tonali transferred to Tottenham

With the possibility of losing Guimaraes to Arsenal, Newcastle finds itself in urgent need of reinforcements. However, Spurs' refusal to entertain the bid for Bergvall complicates matters for both Newcastle and Arsenal.

Bergvall is reportedly eager to leave Tottenham this summer, which could pave the way for a potential deal if Newcastle decides to return with a more lucrative offer. Despite having funds at their disposal, the question remains whether Bergvall, who is yet to fully establish himself, justifies a price exceeding £46m.

As the situation evolves, it raises questions about Tottenham's strategy in retaining a player who wishes to depart, while Newcastle contemplates its next steps in the transfer market. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining how this scenario unfolds.
