Henrik Larsson is backing Djurgarden midfielder Lucas Bergvall's move to Barcelona.

Barca are favourites to land the teen ahead of Tottenham this week.

Former Barca striker Larsson told Aftonbladet of his fellow Swede: "It's a good transfer from Djurgarden, but maybe a little early. I don't know. He must feel the same too. I know him well.

"I don't follow domestic football very closely and I haven't seen him play, but I know where he plays and I've heard the rumours. It would be nice for him if that happens.

"Playing and representing Bara is among the greatest things you can do as a footballer."
