# Tottenham Hotspur: Italian source shares big Steven Bergwijn exit update

**As per [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-bergwijn-sotto-osservazione-il-tottenham-fissa-il-prezzo-70664), there has been a big update on the future of Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn amid the [drama](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/12549961/conte-frustrated-with-losing) surrounding manager Antonio Conte.**

### The Lowdown: Bergwijn on the periphery?

Despite recently scoring twice in stoppage time to hand Spurs a memorable [3-2 win away to Leicester City](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59589154) in the Premier League, the Netherlands international has started [just once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165) since then.

This lack of opportunities also comes after Conte labelled Bergwijn an [‘important player’ with ‘good fitness’](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12520432/antonio-conte-important-steven-bergwijn-happy-to-stay-at-tottenham), perhaps bringing into question why he hasn’t been selected more.

The 24-year-old has appeared off the bench for brief cameos in three out of Tottenham’s last four top-flight matches, but this may not be enough to keep him satisfied, with big news emerging from Italy.

### The Latest: Bergwijn ‘could decide to pack his suitcase’…

According to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-bergwijn-sotto-osservazione-il-tottenham-fissa-il-prezzo-70664), Bergwijn could now ‘decide to pack his suitcase’ and quit Spurs in the summer, as he looks ‘completely lost’ in north London.

Indeed, calling the attacker a Tottenham ‘[diamond that has stopped shining](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-bergwijn-sotto-osservazione-il-tottenham-fissa-il-prezzo-70664)‘, the report went on to reveal the Lilywhites’ stance over a potential sale.

Spurs are apparently ‘ready to settle’ for around €18m-€20m (£15m-£16.6m) if any clubs wish to purchase Bergwijn later this year.

### The Verdict: Right call?

We believe that selling Bergwijn would be a mistake by Spurs, given that he can play as a [makeshift centre-forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/284165) and still has plenty of years ahead of him.

If given an extended starting run in the team, something [not yet offered](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165) to him by Conte, there is every chance that he could impress and become a useful player, with ex-Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo certainly a big fan.

The Portuguese hailed Bergwijn as a [‘very talented’ and ‘unique’](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/nuno-vitesse-team-bergwijn-bruce-21913716) player inside Tottenham’s squad during his tenue at the club last autumn, and Conte should attempt to truly unearth the Lilywhites ‘diamond’ towards the end of this season.
