Fabrizio Romano says player Tottenham sold for £28m last year could soon make Premier League return
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Steven Bergwjin, who was on Tottenham Hotspur’s books until last year, is now on the radar of Premier League clubs.
The transfer insider, writing on , says the one-time Spurs winger is courting “interest from clubs in England and Saudi” Arabia.
Tottenham signed Bergwijn from PSV Eindhoven in January 2020, and the Dutchman hit the ground running at Spurs.
In February, Bergwijn scored a stunning volley on his debut to help Tottenham record a 2-0 win over Manchester City.
Two years later, the Netherlands international came off the bench to score two goals deep into injury time to help Spurs come back to beat Leicester 3-2.
‘He’s a very good player’
These standout moments aside, Bergwijn wasn’t able to make much of an impact at Tottenham as he slipped down the pecking order under Antonio Conte.
In the summer of 2022, Spurs sold him to Ajax for a reported , where he has 58 appearances, 22 goals and eight assists under his belt.
And according to Romano, it seems there is interest in bringing Bergwijn back to the Premier League this winter.
“There could be a chance for Steven Bergwijn to leave Ajax in January as there’s interest from clubs in England and Saudi, though I can’t name names at the moment,” he wrote.
“There’s also no indication from Ajax on cost at this stage, he remains an important player for them. In my opinion he’s a very good player, just needs to play in the correct position.”
Bergwijn showed flashes of quality at Tottenham
Tottenham were absolutely right to try their luck in signing Bergwijn, and he definitely showed glimpses of quality during his time at Spurs.
Sadly it didn’t work out for him in the end, though you can’t help but wonder whether things would’ve been different had the league not been suspended in March 2020, and also, how he’d fare under Ange Postecoglou instead of the previous manager.
It looks as though there’s a chance Tottenham fans will be able to see him in the Premier League once again, as early as next year.
