The Dutch journalist Mike Verweij has commented on the future of Steven Bergwijn at Tottenham and it isn’t a positive comment.
Bergwijn has struggled for relevance since he moved to the club and he is still not showing why several clubs also wanted to sign him back then.
The Dutchman has hardly played under Antonio Conte, who doesn’t seem to fancy him.
Verweij claims the Italian has hardly spoken to the forward and that may be a sign that Bergwijn could become one of the first players that leaves Spurs under the Italian.
Ajax has a long-standing interest in him and they have now been tipped to return to try to sign him.
“Conte doesn’t see it in him at all,” explains Vermeij on the Kick-Off podcast.
“Conte is also the one who thwarted Bergwijn’s transfer from from PSV to Italy. Inter were interested at the time but Conte didn’t need him.
“Conte has only said two words to Bergwijn in two weeks at Tottenham Hotspur. That is why Ajax can consider him, but first Ajax will have to sell (Brazilian forward David) Neres.”
The Boy Hotspur Says
Conte is Bergwijn’s third manager at Tottenham, yet he has still not established himself as an important player at the club.
He is unlikely to survive the Italian and this development suggests his time as Spurs is nearing its conclusion.
Conte has the reputation for ruthlessly offloading players and our squad could be completely different by the start of next season.
Still better than Jah Dele ..
Stevie B is a decent player but he is not, and has never been of the quality that we need to improve the team. Part of the reason Pochettino didn’t ‘want’ signings during that 12 months of no transfers was because of the average dross Levy and Hitchen were prepared to bring in. Bergwjin falls into that category I’m afraid, not terrible but what’s the point In clogging the squad up with yet more mediocre players?
I say Bergwijn is the least when you count the number of flops ie Levy’s darlings in the team who are just wasters of time, money and space of Tottenham club who are still there and no one can move them away while Levy is hiding behind them to use them against any manager to make them play or he gets sack non ending drama Enic/Levy series continues what do I know?
