Antonio Conte is going to find it very hard to ignore Steven Bergwijn going on his latest exploits on the international stage. The hero back in November with a late goal and assist against Norway to help Netherlands seal their place at the 2022 World Cup, March's international break also proved to be a hugely successful one for the Tottenham man.
Opportunities in the Spurs first team have been hard to come by for the 24-year-old in recent months despite his incredible heroics in stoppage time at Leicester City back in January, with only one start from nine appearances in the league since then. Dejan Kulusevski's deadline day move from Juventus and subsequent success has limited the Dutchman's game time and unfortunately restricted him to a bit-part role.
On the pitch for a total of five minutes in his last three substitute appearances for the Lilywhites, the latest international break came at exactly the right time for the ex-PSV man to make his case to Conte ahead of the Premier League run-in. He did exactly that as Netherlands clinched a 4-2 victory over Denmark and recorded a 1-1 draw against Germany.
