Djurgarden midfielder Bergvall admits tougher tackles since Spurs announcement

Djurgarden midfielder Lucas Bergvall admits he's getting more attention from the opposition since signing for Tottenham.

The teen will join Spurs this summer.

"Yes, it is clear that there has been more. Absolutely. People probably want to push me now that I've signed for Tottenham. But so it will be. It's just a matter of getting used to it. It won't be less in the future," he told Fotbollskanalen.

"I'm young and there are many people who like to push every now and then when it's a player who has been sold for too much money.

"It is very important that the referees protect us players and that these ugly things should not just slide by, but that the referees should take that responsibility and if it is ugly enough, he should be sent off, it does not matter if it is in the first minute or in the 90s. If it's ugly enough, he'll be sent off."
