Steven Charles Bergwijn (Dutch pronunciation: [bɛrxˈʋɛin]; born 8 October 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Netherlands national team.

Club career

PSV Eindhoven

Bergwijn was born in Amsterdam[3] to parents from Suriname.[4] He played up to and including 2011 in the youth at Ajax, due to a conflict with one of the youth trainers, he chose to leave. PSV immediately intervened and contracted the young attacker. Bergwijn made his first-team debut for Jong PSV in the second division on 9 August 2014 against Achilles '29.[3] He replaced Liveson Kasenza after 77 minutes in a 2–0 home win.[5]

He scored the third goal as PSV beat rivals Ajax 3–0 to clinch the 2017–18 Eredivisie title.[6]

Tottenham Hotspur

At the end of the January 2020 transfer window Bergwijn signed a five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth a reported £26.7 million.[7] In his Premier League debut against Manchester City he scored his first goal for the club earning a 2–0 victory and was also named Man of the Match by Sky Sports.[8] On 6 March 2020, Bergwijn suffered a sprain to his left ankle in the match against Burnley, which might have seen him out of the team for the rest of the season.[9] However, due to the Premier League break caused by COVID-19, he was able to return to the starting eleven, scoring against Manchester United in Tottenham's first post-break match. [10]

International career

Bergwijn earned his first full international call up when Ronald Koeman named him in the Netherlands squad in October 2018.[11] He made his debut on 13 October 2018 in a 3–0 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A victory over Germany, as a starter.[12]
