Calm down fellas. He's 17 18 and obviously very talented, but Allsvenskan and PL are just in different dimensions regarding most aspects, Championship is well ahead of Allsvenskan. Somewhere around league 1/2 is where the level is in Sweden and how many young players haven't we seen toying with their opposition there just to completely flounder in the PL?

Djurgarden director explains how Tottenham won race for Barcelona target
- Tottenham sealed deal for highly-rated Sweden international Lucas Bergvall
- Young midfielder was spotted in Barcelona with Spanish giants confident of transfer
- Djurgarden director reveals how Spurs won the race for his signature

Djurgarden sporting director Bo Andersson has revealed 'very good communication' with Tottenham helped seal the transfer of Lucas Bergvall to north London.
Spurs completed a stunning move for the highly-rated Sweden international on Friday, stealing him from under the nose of Spanish giants Barcelona - Bergvall had been spotted in Catalonia with reports indicating he was close to sealing a transfer to La Liga.
The central midfielder will link up with Ange Postecoglou's squad in the summer, having made his debut at senior international level back in January.
Speaking about the deal, Andersson admitted there was interest from other clubs in Bergvall.
"All parties involved - Lucas, Djurgarden, Tottenham, BP and the Bergvall family - are very happy and proud that the deal is done. It has been a long process with a number of interested clubs, which then culminated in Lucas visiting two clubs to make his choice himself.
"We have since had a dialogue with both clubs and it feels good that Lucas himself has made his choice based on what he himself believes in. He has had time to make that decision together with his family, which has been an important part.
"I feel a sense of pride that the deal was able to be completed in this way. There are many satisfied and proud parties who have been on this trip and we have to thank for the trust we received from the Brommapojkarna and the Bergvall family.
"The good dialogue with Tottenham Hotspur in connection with the transfer has also contributed to everything landing well.
"We have had very good communication with Tottenham, for which we are very grateful. Besides, it's Lucas' birthday today [Friday], so you can say that it's a pretty good 18th birthday that he gets to experience.
"The next thing he will do is join the team in camp on Sunday and it's nice for all of us to be able to put this aside. Now we can all instead focus on football and the challenges ahead and it will be a lot of fun to follow Lucas in Djurgarden during the spring."
Andersson also explained Barca's interest, with the La Liga champions previously confident of securing a deal.
He added: "Yes, you can't lie about the Barca visit since he was caught on camera. And then there was one more club that I don't want to name.
"It's also important to have concrete bids. There may be rumours, but we focused on the clubs we agreed with. He was given permission to visit them."
Bergvall didn’t toy with the opposition in Allsvenskan. If you look at Sofascore rating he wasn't even the best teenage midfielder in the leage. Dahbo and Kazper Karlsson did better.
Further on Bergvall is not a "Sweden international". He played a friendly game during the winter season against Estonia, those games are played without players based outside of the Swedish league so it's basically Sweden D team.
It would shock me if Bergvall gets any game time in Premier League.
Talk about having a surreal 18th birthday.
Pretty sure, I had 10 beers, 10 drinks, 10 shots, and then puked behind some bar for my 18th.
Even got an appearance of the elusive Lange...
That headphone container though...
Thats what swayed it mate.

I think Oskja that one would agree that the PL is the toughest and best league in the world so Bergvall will not be thrown in the deep end straight away. But he will get his chance and to say it would shock you is kinda pessimistic about how good the player is would you not agree?
