Steven Bergwijn admits he wants to leave Tottenham this summer amid Ajax interest

Steven Bergwijn has admitted that he wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer in order to play regular football.

The 24-year-old Dutchman played 32 times for Spurs across the last campaign, scoring four goals, including two dramatic late goals at Leicester City, and laying on two assists. However, Bergwijn started just four Premier League games last season despite praise from both Antonio Conte and also Nuno Espirito Santo before him, and the winger often got just a handful of minutes from the bench late in matches.

Ajax attempted to sign Bergwijn in the January transfer window but Tottenham rebuffed their efforts with Conte stating that he wanted to keep the player, who joined Spurs from PSV Eindhoven in January 2020 in a £27m deal. Ajax are believed to be attempting again to bring the player back to the Netherlands.
