The likes of Dele Alli, Matt Doherty and Giovani Lo Celso have already been linked with moves away from the club this winter as Conte makes crunch decisions amid his potential overhaul.
As relayed by reporter Kilpatrick, Conte has 'already' made completed a thorough assessment of the Spurs team with decisions now made on who he can and cannot trust.
The Latest: Spurs could now sell Bergwijn...
According to The Evening Standard journalist, Spurs, Conte and managing director Fabio Paratici are now 'open to offers' for Bergwijn as well as midfielder Dele Alli.
The duo could be allowed to leave north London this month but Tottenham's manager has apparently 'ruled out' an exit for midfielder Harry Winks.
The Verdict: Big update?
The Netherlands international only recently dazzled in a Man of the Match display during Tottenham's 2-1 Carabao Cup quarter-final win over bitter rivals West Ham before succumbing to injury, so this news could come as surprising.
Bergwijn's individual brilliance propelled Conte's side into the League Cup semis where they take on Chelsea this evening and that wasn't his only good showing this season.
Under former boss Nuno Espirito Santo, the 24-year-old shined at the start of 2021/2022 with the ex-Lilywhites manager hailing him as 'fantastic' and a 'unique' player within the squad (via TEAMtalk).
As Conte decides who he can and can't trust with his evaluations made, we are surprised to see Bergwijn on the 'for sale' list.
