Alasdair Gold reveals the most ‘interesting’ thing about Spurs and Djurgardens partnership
Alasdair Gold has admitted that he is interested to see how Tottenham’s partnership with Djurgardens would work out, given the odd time in which the Swedish league is played.
It has been well-documented over the last month that Spurs and Djurgardens agreed on a broader partnership while hammering out a deal for Lucas Bergvall during the January window.
Djurgardens sporting director Bosse Andersson made the trip to London last week to discuss the details of an agreement with the Premier League side and was a special guest for the clash against Crystal Palace on Saturday, reportedly being given the VIP treatment during the game (Football.London).
On returning to Sweden, Andersson suggested that there is every chance that we could see some of Tottenham’s younger players being loaned out to the Scandinavian side in the future (Footballskanalen via Fotboll Direkt).
Tottenham and Djurgardens deal could be interesting
Gold has now given his two cents on the agreement between the two clubs, pointing out that it could be tricky to loan players to Djurgardens, given that the Swedish Allsvenskan kicks off in April.
The journalist said on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast: “I mentioned about the special guest [against Crystal Palace], it was the sporting director at Djurgarden, Bosse Andersson.
“He was there as Daniel Levy’s special guest with a few other people, I think from Djurgarden in the chairman’s suite.
“They’re trying to put together a more formal partnership, Spurs and Djurgarden moving forward, where I guess an exchange of ideas, potentially young players going in both directions.
“It’ll be quite interesting as well because obviously the Swedish league, they play during the summer and things like that, you can kind of send a player there.
“I remember Alfie Whiteman went there, the Swedish league, and he kind of played from, I think it’s April the actual league season.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do not think the agreement will see too many senior players moving to Djurgardens on loan as the Swedish league is nowhere near the required standard.
However, we might see a few Under-18 players being exchanged by the two clubs for temporary periods as it could prove valuable for their development.
