Steven Bergwijn joined Tottenham Hotspur from Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven in January 2020 for a fee believed to be in the region of £26.7 million. A tricky wide midfielder, Bergwijn’s main assets include his pace and willingness to be direct – often committing defenders as he breezes past them
Bergwijn was born in Amsterdam where he came through the academy at his local club Ajax. After failing to get on with the coaching team at Ajax, Steven left the club at a young age and decided to pursuit a move to rivals PSV Eindhoven. He quickly rose through the ranks at Jong PSV, PSV’s youth team and it wasn’t long before he had made his first for PSV’s first team. He did so in 2014 and became a key figure for the Dutch side scoring 29 goals in 112 appearances.
Bergwijn has capped his native Netherlands at all levels, including the senior team.
