Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou believes there must be a degree of patience with Lucas Bergvall, who Spurs beat Barcelona to the signature of.
Spurs recently agreed a move with Swedish side Djurgarden to sign the 18-year-old on 1st July, for a fee which could go up to £8.5m.
Even before the teenager’s arrival in London, expectations have started to build given the level of potential many feel he has.
Postecoglou is keen to temper expectations around someone he thinks is a ‘really talented young player’ and feels Bergvall must be given time to settle at Spurs.
The Tottenham boss said at a press conference: “I think he’s a really talented young player.
“Obviously he’s just beginning his career. Johan [Lange] and the scouting department did a lot of work with him.
“We met the family, great family and he’s a great kid.
“Let’s just wait until he’s got his slippers under the door here before we start putting expectations around him.”
Barcelona were keen on Bergvall, who has already made his debut for Sweden, and took time to show him around their facilities and try to sell a move.
