Hes 17 until he turns 18
Given last night I can officially confirm that they all pretty much play everywhere. Lol.Sorry if said before but what position would he play in the midfield? I get the feeling he is a deep lying playmaker unless I am mistaken. So wouldn't fit an 8 who is more box to box. Not a 10 obviously. Can he play as a 6? Can he tackle and disrupt play? Im sure he would be fine at receiving the ball on the turn but wonder how he is defensively.
I believe the Swedish transfer record is something like 12m EUR (Hugo Larsson to Frankfurt). I doubt Bergvall is going for 7m, but I also doubt he's going for more than 12m.Aside from our interest put that to one side, I do question the player's club accepting a piss poor offer of €7 million for him. I think it's a piss take.
Time will tell what his final position will be but he's adept in all 3 midfield positions. My guess is he'll become a 6 in the mold of Frenkie de Jong but can just as easy become an 8 in the same style as Sarr.Sorry if said before but what position would he play in the midfield?

He visited the training ground etc? So not just a cheeky last minute punt from us then.
Who knows. Barca still have BDE but then so does Bayern compared to us.
Take this with a pinch of salt. A guy who has good connections inside Djurgården (his club) mentioned he visited our training ground in the last few days. Also mentioned he has talked to a few other clubs in England (named Man City).
Might be nothing. But thought I’d mention it.
From the little ive seen of him in clips etc i wouldnt say he's a 6 at all. I think he is more the 8 or even 10 to be honest. There is something of the Madders about him dropping a little deeper from the 10 position to open up play. Something i can see spurs doing more under Ange with the 6 being a traditional DM and the 8/10 alternating to come dep and connect up the play. As for this kid, looks like a madders with a little of the Modric/Dembele in the way he can seem to find a little space from tight situations. That said hes very young and playing in a much smaller league so I'm sure this would be one to watch for in a few years. It would be good if we could get him in for the HG status and see where he develops, clearly a talent hence the interest from Barca et al.Sorry if said before but what position would he play in the midfield?

Going to Barca when you don't know who will be the manager or if they will want to play you
....or go to Spurs?
Odegaard, to be fair. As much as I wish it wasn't so.I’ve held this thought for a long time but I am not sure why these “wonder kids” go to Barca, Real, Bayern, Chelsea etc
There’s 2 or 3 every year that make these mega switches to these giants, and sure the lights are bright and it’s a glamour move to one of the biggest clubs in the world, but they never get a chance and the next you hear about them they’ve signed for a bottom-end mid table club in Spain and have to kick start their career after not playing for 4 years. I’m trying to think of any success stories in recent years and can only think of Alphonso Davies and Rodrygo, and those were both 5 years ago!!!!!!!!
I am not saying he should come here. It still may be too big of a step. Look at the track record of clubs like Brighton, Dortmund, Ajax, Lyon among others. Why are these kids not looking there? If you’re good, you’ll make it there and you’ll be at a Bayern/Barca in 2-3 years and cement a first team place upon signing your contract.
Maybe I’m too cynical and this kid is the Swedish Messi, but I’ve seen too many of these stories. Really hope he pivots away from them (and maybe even us if he isn’t ready) for the sake of his own career.
Yeah, but he didn’t really make it *there* did he? He wasn’t given a chance and was farmed out on loan as soon as he got tired of playing for Castilla in the Segunda. He went to a mid table club in Spain, propelled them up the table, then sat the bench for a half year in Madrid again before going to another mid table club in England.Odegaard, to be fair.

But every one of them picture themselves leading an important team to a trophy.I’ve held this thought for a long time but I am not sure why these “wonder kids” go to Barca, Real, Bayern, Chelsea etc
