When Steven Bergwijn popped up with a 95th minute equaliser and a 97th minute winner against Leicester in January, it looked as though it may kickstart his Tottenham career.
Antonio Conte spoke to the Dutchman shortly after to confirm his involvement for the rest of the season, and Spurs denied him a move to Ajax that month. Yet just one start came in his side’s remaining 19 fixtures of the Premier League campaign and now Bergwijn, simply, has had enough.
After scoring the opening goal of the Netherlands’ 4-1 thumping of Belgium in their UEFA Nations League group opener on Friday, Bergwijn this weekend publicly expressed his desire to leave north London. Bergwijn said: “I just need to go play. I want to leave Spurs now, that’s for sure."
