Dutch publication Soccer News have revealed that Ajax are expected to reignite their interest in Steven Bergwijn when the transfer window reopens in the summer.
Bergwijn was heavily linked with a move to Ajax during the January transfer window, with reports indicating that Spurs had rejected a £15m offer from the Eredivisie giants for the winger (The Sun).
Tottenham did not offload the Netherlands international in January despite bolstering their attack with the addition of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus.
Bergwijn has continued to find game time hard to come by under Antonio Conte and Italian journalist Carlo Laudisa said on Carlo Pellegatti’s YouTube channel last month that AC Milan could enter the race for the Tottenham man in the summer.
Soccer News have now explained that Ajax lack a natural cover for Dusan Tadic upfront, which is why the club pursued the Tottenham winger in January.
The report asserts that Erik Ten Hag saw Bergwijn as a ‘Championship guarantee’ and felt that he could get the best out of Tadic by offering the Serbian some competition for his place in the side.
It is explained that the reigning Eredivisie champions would thus ‘undoubtedly knock on Tottenham Hotspur’s door again next summer’ for the former PSV Eindhoven man.
Spurs Web Opinion
Despite Bergwijn’s late heroics at Leicester, the feeling I got from Conte in January is that he saw the Dutchman as being surplus to requirements. That is certainly the case after the arrival of Kulusevski, which is why I am pretty sure that Spurs will cash in on the 24-year-old in the summer.
