Rafael van der Vaart responds to Tottenham fan when asked about Steven Bergwijn
Rafael van der Vaart has responded to a Tottenham Hotspur fan on Twitter when asked if PSV Eindhoven attacker Steven Bergwijn will be a good signing for the north London club – and his response will excite Spurs supporters.
on Monday that the 22-year-old travelled to London to undergo a medical and thrash out personal terms, after Spurs approached PSV for Bergwijn. in the summer that PSV wanted £35million for Bergwijn.
Bergwijn has been in excellent form for PSV Eindhoven after coming through the ranks at the Dutch club, clocking up 149 appearances in all competitions – scoring 31 goals and creating 41 more. This season, he has scored six and created 13.
A favourite among Spurs fans, van der Vaart was asked by a supporter on Twitter whether Bergwijn would be a good signing for Jose Mourinho’s side – and the ex-Tottenham midfielder responded by saying he would be “a great signing”.
Should it all really happen, I believe that Bergwijn will certainly be a great signing for Spurs. Obviously he will have to adjust to the PL pace and ambience but his speed, technique and strength will certainly add something to the Spurs game. Good luck to Stevie and my Spurs 🍀

TBR’s view – Van der Vaart’s backing proof Bergwijn will shine for Spurs
The signing of a new striker has been a problem for Tottenham. They need one that can act as cover for Harry Kane, but one that knows they will be second choice when England skipper Kane returns from hamstring surgery.
Signing a veteran striker, landing a youngster, giving Troy Parrott a chance are all options. But with the signing of Bergwijn, Spurs will sign a player that can play up front – as well as out wide and in the 10 role. That might be the best path to go down.
Along with Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura, Spurs would have three options that can play up front – but also out wide – if they sign Bergwijn. He would be an excellent signing.
