I can't believe people are comparing this guy to Janssen, it's laughable. The two are worlds apart in style and Bergwijn has all the attributes needed to compete in the Prem. He is rapid and very strong, they are too massive attributes to have. I haven't watched too much of him but from the games I've seen him in, he reminds me of a more polished version of Traore. I think in a front 3 alongside Son and Kane, we could be incredibly dangerous, especially on the counter. Add in Lo Celso and Ndombele and a potentially brilliant young team is starting to develop. He is definitely an upgrade on Lucas and would be a great addition to the squad in my opinion.

I choose to run with this. ??

Well I guess the only question now is what number he will wear? Will he take the cursed No.9, will he take Eriksen's 23? Or will it be a rubbish number nobody cares about like 36?

Still just want to get this one completely over the line to be honest!

PSV and Spurs agree on Bergwijn

Steven Bergwijn (22) is leaving for Tottenham Hotspur. All parties agreed an agreement in principle on the transition of the international on Monday evening, sources around the English club report. The attacker provides PSV with an amount of more than thirty million euros.

Bergwijn thus ends up under the wings of manager José Mourinho at a top club in the Premier League. Even though last year's Champions League finalist is currently in sixth place.

For Bergwijn, a number of turbulent days come to an end with his final transfer, which did not leave him unmoved. He already announced that on Sunday through his Instagram account. On Sunday afternoon, after the announcement of an impending sale, the international was the Kop van Jut with a part of the PSV supporters within a few hours. He thought he had refused to play for the club in the FC Twente match (1-1). The player made it clear from his hotel himself in clear terms that he had done everything 'according to plan'. There has been consultation and he has neatly called his trainer. He, in turn, was in close contact with the PSV leadership. "I had permission from Ernest Faber not to play."

Bergwijn, since his thirteenth player of PSV, says that the club always stays in his heart, but that he now wants to make a big step. That has now definitely become the transfer to London, to the club of José Mourinho. His agent Fulco van Kooperen, who is supervising the Orange International along with his son Nathan, already had a good interview last week with Mourinho and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. That confirmed sources around the English club.

The only 22-year-old Bergwijn now supplies PSV with tens of millions of euros. Money that the people of Eindhoven desperately need in a season without Champions League football. Given the current sporting problems, there is a real chance that there will be no ticket for the Champions League in the coming season.

Bergwijn himself has always devoted 100% to PSV and he emphasized that on Sunday evening. He didn't make a war when the Spanish Seville wanted to enlist him last summer, and there was interest from Ajax. He even extended his contract until mid-2023. The star player did not agree with the resignation of trainer Mark van Bommel mid-December, but then also remained on the plain in the interest of the club and accepted his role as an employee .

In 2011, the multifunctional attacker made the switch from the Ajax youth academy to PSV. Bergwijn made his debut in the Eredivisie on 10 May 2015 in a home game against Heracles Almelo. This season he was good for five goals and ten assists in sixteen league matches. He became champion three times with PSV and once won the Johan Cruijff Scale.

Is this a player who will play for Holland next Euro cup regardless if he come to us or not? Don't know what to expect. Don't know this player. Some videos on YouTube of him playing gives a good impression though.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if this lad comes in and shows some potential I think this summer you start shopping Moura around Europe while that CL hattrick is still relatively fresh in people’s minds.

30 million euros is an absolute bargain.

Fair play if Levy pulls this off.
