Arsenal, Spurs target Pontus Dahlberg dubbed 'world class' at 18

IFK Gothenburg goalkeeper Pontus Dahlberg has been dubbed "world class".

The young shot-stopper is being scouted closely by Arsenal and Tottenham this season.

Djurgarden attacker Gustav Engvall, formerly of Bristol City, says the 18 year-old is already "world class".

He stated: "He already plays like an experienced man.

"He is world class already at the age of 18. He just needs to learn about players who can be cynical in their play."

Asked about the interest of Spurs and Arsenal over the summer, Dahlberg welcomed it.

"It's clear that it's fun to be linked with big clubs. But I do not know how much is in that.

"I'll have to hear from my agent," he said.
