# Tottenham: Sky Sports reporter makes Steven Bergwijn claim

**Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has provided an update on Steven Bergwijn’s Tottenham future, with Ajax keen on the winger, [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1818806-tottenham-transfer-news-bid-tabled-for-16cap-star-conte-praised-for-a-lot-of-quality) report.**

### The Lowdown: ‘Final stages’ claim

Bergwijn has started just [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165) Premier League fixtures this season and is currently sidelined with a [calf issue](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165).

Ajax [submitted](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1480574336834617348) a bid for the Dutch attacker earlier this month, with recent [reports](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1481266619255083015?s=21) claiming an agreement is in the ‘final stages’.

Antonio Conte and Daniel Levy are apparently willing to give the green light to a north London [exit](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1480574336834617348) for the 24-year-old, and reliable reporter Bridge has now been having his say.

### The Latest: Bridge’s comments

Bridge, talking to [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1818806-tottenham-transfer-news-bid-tabled-for-16cap-star-conte-praised-for-a-lot-of-quality), revealed that there has indeed been discussions between Spurs and Ajax.

He says Tottenham aren’t willing to accept an offer of £15m, however, especially with Levy forking out [£27m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/transfers/spieler/284165) two years ago.

> “We do know that a bid has come in from Ajax. My understanding is that there has been a few bits of discussions, whether that’s a £15m offer or a loan with an obligation to buy in the summer for nearer the fee that Tottenham want.

> “I know that Tottenham won’t accept £15m, but that’s the offer they had from Ajax.”

### The Verdict: Understandable

A Jose Mourinho addition, it’s safe to say that Bergwijn hasn’t lived up to expectations in England following a big-money move from PSV.

He has scored just [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/284165) goals in [64](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/284165) appearances, with Conte [yet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/leistungsdaten/spieler/284165) to start the wide man in the Premier League. It doesn’t seem as if the Spurs boss is a massive fan of Bergwijn, however, Spurs still need to get the best deal possible when it comes to a sale.

Hopefully, they can recoup the majority of the £27m they spent on the player, but to do that, they need to negotiate with Ajax following a rumoured £15m bid.
