# Tottenham: Report shares Steven Bergwijn exit update

**As per reports in the last 48 hours, a major[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) exit update has now come to light involving wantaway winger Steven Bergwijn.**

### The Lowdown: Summer of change at Tottenham…

The Lilywhites could be set for a very interesting 2022/23 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) campaign after Antonio Conte guided them to a place in the Champions League for next season.

Finishing in the top four on the final day of the last campaign has granted Spurs some real privileges, including a [£150m equity increase](https://theathletic.com/3331260/2022/05/25/tottenham-hotspurs-150m-capital-increase/) courtesy of ENIC and [three confirmed signings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148/saison_id/2022) already.

However, in order to balance the books, Spurs transfer chief Fabio Paratici needs to offload a few players, and one man who is expected to leave north London is Bergwijn.

### The Latest: Bergwijn transfer update…

The Netherlands international has [openly admitted](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/steven-bergwijn-admits-wants-leave-24148421) that he’s open to leaving Tottenham, with [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-sources-transfer-talks-bergwijn/) sharing a big development on Tuesday afternoon.

According to their information, Ajax are eyeing a big-money move for Bergwijn, who they are keen to make their ‘marquee signing’ of the summer.

Negotiations are apparently ‘advancing’ and both clubs believe that an agreement could be imminent – so much so that all parties are confident that a deal could be in place by ‘the end of this week’.

### The Verdict: Sad end for Bergwijn…

Often a big-game player, Bergwijn’s stoppage-time heroics [at Leicester City in January](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiWhiPPmT-U) enhance the belief that he can really be of use to Conte on his day, despite drawing [criticism](https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/difference-between-proper-players-souness-critical-of-23-year-old-spurs-star/) from the likes of Graeme Souness in the past.

However, the Dutchman – who started just [four league games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165) last season – could struggle for game-time ahead of the [in-form](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/leistungsdaten/spieler/431755) Dejan Kulusevski, or further potential summer additions, and we believe that an exit from Tottenham may suit all parties.

Paratici will need to agree outgoings sooner rather than later, with Bergwijn coming as a likely departure from N17.
