Tottenham’s flying start underlined by Premier League announcement

Add as preferred source on Google

Life at Tottenham under Thomas Frank has been sweet. It’s four wins from five for Spurs to start the season, and four clean sheets.

Spurs look rejuvenated since the arrival of Thomas Frank this summer, and there’s an air of optimism that hasn’t been felt at the club in some time.

Frank’s side are currently sat in third in the Premier League, with a run of fixtures against bottom-half teams that suggests the good times can continue.

And saying that Spurs have been fantastic isn’t a biased take. It’s justified by yet another favourable announcement from the Premier League.

Lucas Bergvall’s Player of the Week award makes three for Spurs in four matchweeks

After every round of league action, an award is given to the top performer that week.

Lucas Bergvall was announced by the Premier League as the winner on Tuesday after a goal and an assist against West Ham, making him the third member of the squad to receive the honour in four tries.

He joins Richarlison, whose opening day brace in Matchweek 1 handed him the award, and Joao Palhinha, for his performance and goal against Man City in Matchweek 2.

Spurs’ flying start isn’t unique. Arsenal have nine points as well, and Liverpool have won every game to begin their title defence. But clearly, the individual efforts of these players have stood out.

Lucas Bergvall is having a breakout season

I know, I know. Bergvall was outstanding last season.

But his efforts were overshadowed by Spurs’ struggles in the league, languishing in the bottom half of the table for most of the campaign. At risk of speaking too soon, that doesn’t look likely this time around.

The Swede could be an integral part of a side battling towards the top of the league and competing at the highest level in Europe.

And Bergvall is still only 19. He has so much to learn at the top level, and the potential to improve drastically.

He’s already doing it on the biggest stage, winning Player of the Match against Villarreal on Tuesday to add to his Premier League honour.

The sky is the limit for Spurs’ young star.
