# Tottenham Hotspur: Italian source shares Steven Bergwijn exit update

**As per [TUTTOmercatoWEB](https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/tmw-lazio-occhi-su-bergwijn-del-tottenham-1622800), sharing an update from Italy, a Tottenham Hotspur exit development has come to light involving winger Steven Bergwijn.**

### The Lowdown: Conte making ‘evaluations’…

Ahead of the January transfer window, Spurs manager Antonio Conte has already admitted that he is making ‘[evaluations](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/tottenham-transfer-news-antonio-conte-warns-players-he-is-making-evaluations-ahead-of-january-window)‘ on his squad over who could leave or stay next month.

As he assesses who is best to take the club forward, a few big names have been linked with a possible exit. Perhaps the most notable candidate is Dele Alli, with the Lilywhites and chairman Daniel Levy now open to letting him leave ([The Athletic)](https://theathletic.com/3011228/2021/12/13/ornstein-legal-failure-putting-women-at-risk-spurs-to-let-dele-leave-kamara-to-go-for-free/).

Tanguy Ndombele has also been [tipped with a move away](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-conte-tells-tottenham-to-let-110m-star-go-in-january/), and so is [Harry Kane,](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/pep-guardiola-ho-vol-en-el-city-pero-el-jugador-demana-al-seu-agent-que-ofereixi-el-fitxatge-a-flo_682817_102.html) with winger Bergwijn also apparently in Conte’s mind for a [winter sale.](https://www.espn.in/football/soccer-transfers/story/4543126/rangnicks-man-united-masterplan-bellingham-haidara-phillips-are-key-targets)

### The Latest: Lazio ‘at work’ for Bergwijn…

According to [TUTTOmercatoWEB](https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/tmw-lazio-occhi-su-bergwijn-del-tottenham-1622800), an exit development has emerged involving the Netherlands international, with Serie A outfit Lazio now ‘at work’ as they set their sights on signing the Tottenham ace.

It is even believed that they could swoop in the ‘next few days’ as the report refuses to rule out an ‘offensive’ from the Biancocelesti.

### The Verdict: Contemplate selling?

Since signing for Spurs in a [£27m move from PSV Eindhoven](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51296095) in January 2020, it’s safe to say that Bergwijn’s time at the club has been a mixed bag.

After scoring on his [debut against Manchester City](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPIq-TGlm08) and instantly making an impression, flashes of [good form](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/steven-bergwijn-phil-thompson-impressed-21485467) have been followed by spells [out of the team.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10283785/Tottenham-Steven-Bergwijn-wanted-Ajax-amid-lack-game-time-Antonio-Conte.html) Speaking to the press, former Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo raved over the Dutchman as a ‘unique’ and ‘very talented’ player in his squad after a great start to the 2021/22 campaign (via [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/nuno-espirito-santo-lauds-unique-spurs-steven-bergwijn)).

Despite rumours that he could turn to Bergwijn as a [makeshift striking understudy](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-steven-bergwijn-harry-kane-antonio-conte-b969598.html) to Kane, Conte has rarely started the 24-year-old, but we believe the winger could still have life in him yet.

Fairly young and [possessing plenty of ability](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/steven-bergwijn-phil-thompson-impressed-21485467), the Netherlands international could still revitalise his career at Tottenham, and Conte shouldn’t contemplate selling him at this moment.
