Dutch attacking midfielder Steven Bergwijn is on the lips of all English football fans after reports in the English press that West Ham United are seriously considering signing him in the second half of the season. The 26-year-old, who is currently under contract with Ajax until 2027, is looking for a second chance in the Premier League after his time at Tottenham.
Bergwijn arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in January 2020 with high expectations but was unable to fully settle into the London team. Although he demonstrated his skills and speed, he struggled to secure a regular place in the starting line-up. However, his undeniable talent and potential did not go unnoticed.
Now, as the British media London Evening Standard reports, Bergwijn sees the possibility of moving to West Ham United as an opportunity to revive his career in England. The David Moyes-led team has had a solid season in the Premier League and is looking to strengthen its squad to remain in the fight for European competition places.
Immediate service signing
Signing Bergwijn would be an exciting acquisition for West Ham. His versatility as an attacking midfielder and his ability to get off balance in the final third of the pitch could add a new dimension to the Hammers' game. Furthermore, his experience in the Premier League would give him an advantage in adapting to the pace of the competition.
