Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Tottenham Hotspur told Steven Bergwijn last night that he was not going to move to Ajax.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported that in the final hours of the January transfer deadline day, Tottenham communicated to Bergwijn and his agents that they will not sell him to Ajax.
Even if the Eredivisie came back with a late bid.
Dutch giants Ajax had an offer for the 24-year-old Netherlands international winger earlier in the January transfer window turned down.
Sensible decision from Tottenham on Steven Bergwijn
In our view, Tottenham have made a sensible decision on Bergwijn.
The Dutchman is a good winger who, according to Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte, can also play as a striker.
Moreover, Tottenham let a number of players leave on January transfer window.
Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele and Bryan Gil all left Spurs, who signed two players on the final day of the January transfer window.
Tottenham paid Ajax £27 million to PSV for Bergwijn in January 2020 (BBC Sport), and we think that he could contribute to the club’s quest to finish in the Premier League top four this season.
Bergwijn came off the bench to score two late goals for Tottenham against Leicester City in the Premier League and played well against Chelsea in the London derby.
