As per ESPN, an update has emerged involving Steven Bergwijn as Tottenham Hotspur weigh who may or may not be leaving in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Conte makes evaluations...

Antonio Conte recently confirmed to the press that he will be making 'evaluations' on his squad ahead of January in a stern message to Spurs players.

As per reports, there are some players he has already made a decision on, with Football Insider claiming that the Italian has instructed Spurs chiefs to find a buyer for club record signing Tanguy Ndombele.

Bergwijn is another player to have been linked with a possible move away as Ajax make their interest known (The Times), and a report from ESPN states that Conte and Spurs could now green light another January exit after Ndombele.

The Latest: Conte stance revealed...

According to the American outlet, Tottenham's boss is now 'unconvinced' Bergwijn will be part of his plans as he makes a behind-the-scenes call.

As a result, the Netherlands international could be 'made available' for transfer in the winter window - especially since Tottenham are eyeing a busy January.

The Verdict: Bad move?

If Tottenham do decide to green light a Bergwijn exit, it may well be a bad move given their hectic calendar and the fact Conte could turn to him as a makeshift centre-forward for emergencies.

Former Lilywhites boss Nuno Espirito Santo has made clear he's an admirer in the past, calling him a 'very talented' and 'unique' player inside the Spurs squad (TEAMtalk), and we believe Conte should give him a chance to impress.

Bergwijn actually started the season off well under Nuno before his injury on international duty, with Paul Robinson calling him a 'top player', and there may still be time for him under shine under Tottenham's new boss.
