Antonio Conte may have already found Steven Bergwijn replacement as Tottenham exit imminent

Tottenham look close to completing a deal for their second outgoing of the summer, as Steven Bergwijn looks set to make a return to the Netherlands to join Ajax. Earlier this summer, Cameron Carter-Vickers became Spurs' first departure, after his successful loan spell earned him a permanent move to Celtic.

football.london reported on Wednesday that a £27.8million fee had been agreed between the two clubs and the Dutch international was pictured outside Amsterdam UMC hospital, ahead of his medical. This would see the departure of Bergwijn, after making more than 80 appearances for Tottenham.

His exit does not come as a surprise as he expressed his desire to leave N17 this summer, earlier in the year. This admission comes ahead of the World Cup and as the 24-year-old wants regular game time, which would have only been made more difficult, with the arrival of Richarlison.
