Steven Bergwijn joins Ajax from Tottenham for €30m

Steven Bergwijn has completed his long-awaited move to Ajax from Tottenham, signing for the Dutch giants for €30m.

The saga has dragged on throughout the summer transfer window and was subject to interest from Everton, recently revealed a fee had finally been agreed after months of hardball.

Bergwijn joined the north London club in January 2020 as a highly-rated youngster and made a memorable start to his time in England, scoring on his debut against Manchester City in a 2-0 victory.

However, he couldn’t command a regular starting XI place and only scored eight goals in 83 games in all competitions.

The 24-year-old did enjoy some memorable moments during his brief Spurs tenure. He scored their first goal of Project Restart in 2020/21 against Manchester United and netted in the home defeat to Aston Villa that season with fans allowed back in stadiums.

His most important contribution, however, was his injury-time brace against Leicester back in January, coming off the bench to earn Tottenham a dramatic victory and reignite their Champions League hopes.
