In summary, this video shows:

- It would seem he likes feints, flicks and tight turns
- When the notion takes him he has a bit of a rocket for a right foot
- Appears to be pretty quick and reasonably strong
- He seems pretty hesitant to use his left foot

As far as I've seen it, chronologically:

- PSV said we had made an offer
- PSV left him out of the squad
- Dutch media said he's refused to play and has absconded prematurely to London
- Player posted a video from a London Hotel saying he's done everything as expected and is a bit confused about the backlash
- PSV manager confirmed he said the player could go over to London to sign for us
- Some PSV bigwig has said that there's been no offer and no reason for Bergwijn to be here.

Seems like literally no one involved knows what's going on.

complete and utter chaos! ?

He’s exciting, in the age range that we historically shopped and has a high ceiling. All perfect. I would add that from what I have seen of him he still ha s much to learn and with him moving to a new country and league in the middle of the season I do hope, if he does indeed sign, that we are patient with him as I think there’s every chance he won’t make an immediate impact. Nonetheless I think this could be a really positive, excellent signing.

Excited about this one, exactly the level and age bracket of player we should be after. Not a priority position but opportunistic as Jose has said all along.

Sounds like Daniel has him just where he wants him as well, locked in a hotel room!

He's the right footed Lamela.

Hoping he can be our much- needed upgrade on Moura.

The more I read up on this potential transfer, the more excited I am about it.

Finishing 5th and ending up in the Europa League next season would be a lot easier to take if we can see that the club are serious about ditching the dead wood, and properly investing in refreshing the first team with genuine talent. Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Gedson and Bergwijn would be a great starting point for a total rebuild.

Should have no problems adapting to the physicality of our league - he's a unit.

€ 30 to € 33 million, that is what PSV wants to get out of Bergwijn this week. As a youth player he is on the balance for 0 euros, so that means a considerable financial boost. Tottenham Hotspur can easily pay the amount.


Well that's just not true, they bought him from Ajax, for around 150k euros. Basically nothing, but they've had some investment in him.
