Steven Bergwijn's wish is about to come true with a return to Holland finally set to come to fruition. Cutting a frustrated figure on the Tottenham bench for long periods of last season, talk of the 24-year-old linking up with Ajax never went away after the Dutch giants tried to lure him to Amsterdam in January.
Failing back then with a move for the talented attacker, Ajax now have their man after agreeing on a deal with Tottenham for his services. Bergwijn will undergo his medical today and complete a €32.5million (£27.8m) transfer ahead of such a crucial period for the player with the 2022 World Cup on the horizon.
The Lilywhites will receive €30million (£25.8m) for the 24-year-old and that fee could rise to €32.5million with adds-ons, which in turn would see Spurs recoup the £27million they paid PSV back in January 2020. Considering his lack of regular match action during his time at the club, Spurs have done extremely well to have not lost out on any money for Bergwijn.
