Steven Bergwijn's Antonio Conte claim after Ajax return leaves Tottenham decision questioned

Bergwijn made 83 appearances for the Lilywhites in the couple of years he played in N17, scoring eight goals and registering 10 assists. Last season, the 24-year-old made 25 Premier League appearances, but started in just four of those games.
