Tottenham reject offer from Ajax for Steven Bergwijn

Tottenham have rejected an offer from Ajax for Steven Bergwijn.

The Daily Mail says Tottenham have rejected a £17million bid from Ajax for Bergwijn.

Spurs knocked back a bigger offer in January but are ready to sell the Dutch international, who also had interest from Everton.

Bergwijn wants to join Ajax, who are offering a five-year contract. The 24-year-old was born in Amsterdam and played academy football for the club until the age of 13 when he joined PSV.

It was in Eindhoven where he made his first team breakthrough and caught the eye of clubs around Europe, before he moved to Tottenham for £27m in January 2020.

Bergwijn scored on his debut for Spurs against Manchester City but has never nailed down a regular starting spot.
