PSV's Bergwijn to sign for Tottenham - sources

PSV Eindhoven forward Steven Bergwijn is set to sign for Tottenham, sources have told ESPN.

Jose Mourinho has been in the market for reinforcements in the January transfer window with Harry Kane ruled out for the forseeable future.

...

While reports linked Tottenham with Real Sociedad's Willian Jose, sources have told ESPN that the club expect to announce the signing of PSV's Bergwijn instead.

...

Sources have told ESPN that he is not in the PSV squad to face Twente on Sunday after he told the club he did not want to play. He will move to north London to become Mourinho's second move of the transfer window following Gedson Fernandes' arrival this month.

Chuffed with this if we get either piatek or willian too

 

[Ronwol196061]

Lamela,Dele,Lo Celso,Moura etc we are covered.
DMs are needed

 

[Ronwol196061]

One more CB, RB and a DM needed

What if José doesn't want one? Do you/we know better than him?

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

His pressure regains are shit. Get rid

Thinking we’ll wait on those for the summer.

Kane and Sissoko’s injuries probably threw a wrench into our transfer plans for this window leading us to sign Gedson and hopefully a striker.

I'll give him a quick call and let you know.
By the way your words are making SC obsolete

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.

Hank, will this ease the pain of a nil return on Bruno Fernandes?

Excellent first post !

 

[bombarda]

Anyone actually seen a match in which he played? Please enlighten the rest of us cretins.

All I know is that he has pace and a two star weak foot, based on Fifa.

He played against us last season, so I would guess most people here have seen him play at least a match.
He was dangerous throughout.

I saw him play Sporting earlier this season, and he as terrible. But then again the entire PSV team were.

Manager of PSV has confirmed he is in London fwiw

 

[JayB]

We were strongly linked with Bergwijn in the summer by Voetbal International, a highly respected Dutch football magazine, so this is a player we’ve scouted for some time and one the club evidently rates quite highly.

 

[spids]

He looks to be competition for Moura and Son, and not the Kane back up we so badly need. Seems to be more of a team player than our two based on his highlights where he seems very aware of team mates in better positions rather than a head down dribbler (Moura) or step-over-and-shoot (Son) merchant.

 

[WhiteStripe]

Looks like a Son who actually gets his head up and passes.

 

[McArchibald]

Anyone speak the lingo?

Bedragen van 25 miljoen zie ik voorbij komen. Dan moet JDJ echt met een harde Boula schop de deur uit. Ja, dan wel. 100% mee eens.

A fan's rant at PSV's DoF John de Jong (JDJ) for getting only 25m euros for Bergwijn.

 

[Rob]

2 minutes of youtube highlights and I want him signed. Yep, it'a deadline week
