What happened. Chelsea were reportedly interested in signing Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham as a replacement for Enzo Fernandez, but Tottenham deny any approach was made.

• Tottenham deny discussing an approach from Chelsea for Bergvall.
• Bergvall had pushed for an exit earlier in the summer.
• Manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Bergvall would stay, saying '100 per cent'.

“Lucas Bergvall, 100 per cent. We spoke a lot in pre-season. He's a top player, a top potential player.”

— Roberto De Zerbi

With the transfer window closed, Bergvall remains at Tottenham, and Chelsea's interest appears to have ended.
