Steven Bergwijn is expected to walk out the door of Tottenham Hotspur this summer without ever truly realising the potential he arrived with.
The 24-year-old Dutchman has reached a point where he feels he cannot progress any further at Spurs due to the restrictions placed on his game time because of those above him in the pecking order. As often is the case for fringe players, international duty has not only provided a release from club frustrations but also an arena in which to air their views.
Bergwijn used the opportunity this week to admit that it is time to move on from Tottenham after two-and-a-half years and 83 appearances in the club's shirt.
