Tottenham Hotspur should consider a move for the Feyenoord winger.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of work to do at White Hart Lane this summer, if he is to build a group of players who are capable of making a sustained push for major honours this season.
One area where the Argentine is reportedly looking to strengthen is his attacking department.
Spurs are interested in signing Manchester United’s £60 million-rated Anthony Martial, according to the Telegraph, whilst the Mirror claims that Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha is also a target, for the same price.
That would be a serious amount of cash for Tottenham to lay out on one player, and with this in mind, they should consider taking a look at Feyenoord winger Steven Berghuis as a cheaper alternative.
The 26-year-old was on fire in Holland last season, chalking up an impressive 23 goals and 17 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.
He is a real live-wire, with a lethal end product, and he would undoubtedly help Spurs improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.
There would be a slight risk involved in signing Berghuis, however.
The 26-year-old spent a difficult season in England with Watford three years ago, and his struggles to adapt to the speed of the Premier League might just serve as a warning sign for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Holland international is a more mature player now, though, and his form last season was so electric that it is hard to envisage him struggling in any division.
Berghuis can play on either flank, so he would offer Poch the option of more in-game tactical flexibility.
According to Transfer Markt, he is valued at just £10.8 million, and in today’s day and age, that represents excellent value for a player with the Dutchman’s quality.
