He’s a left winger though isn’t he?

Where Son plays and Is currently thought to be Sessegnon’s best position?

Would have thought we’d be more interested in natural right siders?

Not against him mind, just seems like Mourinho at Man U when he was collecting left attackers and had no specialist right siders lol.

Have liked him for a good few seasons now, he's a singer not a CF though

There you go.

I don't understand a bloody word of it, but I do have to say I'm quite taken with the way she says 'Spurs' on 24 seconds.

First post guys, lurker, but seeing as these bergwijn links have popped up, I should give my opinion. I’ve been living in Eindhoven for the past 6 months studying abroad. I’ve seen psv live twice, but also on tv, streams etc. There is a ton of young talent in the Netherlands and psv included. Malen, dumfries, ihattaren (who I believe to be the one with the most potential/talent), and bergwijn. What I’ll say is he has loads of pace, but he uses it effectively in making runs in behind, freeing up space for fullbacks. His creative ability is also top notch imo. Wonderful vision and weight of pass makes him one of the best attackers in the eredivisie. Loves to take a man on 1v1 as well. Slightly inconsistent in front of goal, however he has definitely improved his finishing in the past year or so. Only downside is the quality of the league (although not a bad league whatsoever, as seen by Ajax last year) and style of play. Psv has a very fluid attacking style where unselfish runs and constant off-the-ball movement are the hallmarks. As we all know, our attack is rather toothless and static at the moment, especially with H injured. Overall, a great signing should it get over the line, especially if it’s in and around the 30-35m range. Indirect eriksen replacement, obviously not as good as eriksen passing wise, but creativity on the wing is something we need imo. Top player with top potential, so fingers crossed.

Are we? Was very wasteful yesterday.
For me when everyone is fit it’s son Kane an another as the top 3. Could be Lucas/lamela/Sessegnon but none are demanding the spot as of now

If a player of this calibre and age becomes available, you have to take the punt.

We haven’t done for the last couple of seasons and it cost us dearly in the medium term. Encouraged that this is the kind of move we’re being linked with.

I would assume he’s an indirect Eriksen replacement - he can play wider, freeing up Lo Celso to cement a role in the centre.
