Ajax are set to hike up their bid for Spurs forward Steven Bergwijn by offering £18million for the Dutch international this week.
The Eredivisie champions had an opening £15million proposal rejected by the London club on Friday - but director of football Edwin van der Sar will table an improved offer. It would mean Spurs taking an initial £8.5million loss on the £26.5million they paid PSV Eindhoven two years ago.
But Ajax's new offer is set to include a package of small add-ons that would take the deal to £20million. Bergwjin has been urged by Dutch boss Louis van Gaal to move to Ajax to protect his place in Holland’s World Cup squad.
