Steven Bergwijn: Tottenham complete signing of PSV winger on five-and-a-half-year contract
Tottenham have completed the signing of PSV Eindhoven winger Steven Bergwijn on a five-and-a-half-year contract.
The fee for the 22-year-old Dutch international, who has been handed Christian Eriksen’s No 23 shirt, is understood to be in excess of £25m.
“It’s an amazing club, it’s a dream for every footballer to play in the Premier League, the atmosphere, the stadiums are always full,” Bergwijn said.
“I look day to day, I want to score goals, give assists, I want to win the Champions League. Last season I love to see that you beat Ajax.
“I was 13 when I went to PSV, we wake up at six in the morning, go to PSV, drive one hour to Eindhoven, then go back to school at 3 or 4 o’Clock every day. When I wasn’t training I was asleep in the car. I know what they have done for me, without them I would not be here.
“When I was a young boy I looked up to the coach Mourinho, now I play for him. You have to believe in yourself, I know what I can bring, I’m good with the ball, I can score, playing good football, that’s what I like, to play here is a dream for me, it’s an honour.”
