Tottenham signing Lucas Bergvall denies 'using' Barcelona

Tottenham signing Lucas Bergvall denies "using" Barcelona to land a bigger contract.

Bergvall will join Spurs at the end of the season from Djurgarden, having also held talks with Barca. Blaugrana scout Bojan Krkic Snr has stated Bergvall used their interest to secure a bigger deal from Tottenham.

But after a Swedish Cup win this week, Bergvall told Aftonbladet: "It's not something I spend a lot of time on. They can write and say what they want. I know what is right. I try not to put so much energy into it."

Asked if Krkic Snr was simply bitter, he replied: "It could be, absolutely. I do not know."

Bergvall continued: "There was a lot of speculation back and forth on social media. A lot of people wondered, but it's nice that everything settled down and that I can focus only on Djurgarden.

"It's fun to get the last six months here with Djurgarden and hopefully win a cup gold. I try not to think too much about injuries, if it happens, it happens."
