[골닷컴] Reporter Dong-Hoon Kang = Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Steve Bergwein (24) is expected to leave after two years. Tottenham Hotspur has already decided to sell, and news has come that they are ready to release him.
Reporter Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European soccer transfer market, said on his social network service (SNS) on the 10th (Korean time), “Tottenham have decided to sell Bergwein this month. Several clubs are showing interest, and among them, is one of the clubs Ajax has proposed to transfer to, but nothing has been reached yet.”
Previously, Bergwein seemed likely to remain until last month. In addition to the lack of performance and frequent injuries before, he seemed to be leaving as rumors of a feud with coach Antonio Conte (52, Italy) were raised, but he took the opportunity again and the weight leaned toward remaining.

In fact, last month, in the English Football League (EFL) Cup quarter-finals match against West Ham United, he showed a performance leading to victory with one goal and one assist. In response, Conte said, “Now Bergwein can play while understanding what I want and what the players demand,” and hinted at the possibility of using him as a regular in the future.
However, after a change of location within just a few weeks, Bergwein was again nominated for release. And for that reason, it was analyzed as a means to raise funds for recruitment. Spurs Web reported that Tottenham are trying to sign Luis Dias (24), who is currently playing for Porto, and plan to sell Bergwein, one of the players in the same position, to earn a transfer fee.
Werwein left PSV Eindhoven and joined Tottenham in January 2020 for a transfer fee of 30 million euros (about 40 billion won). Even before his debut, he made a strong impression by scoring his debut goal against Manchester City, raising expectations.
However, as time passed, his performance was weak and he began to be completely pushed out of the competition. He appeared occasionally as a substitute rather than an actual starter, and was often excluded from the squad or kept only the bench. He played 64 games over two years, and the average time per game was only 50.92 minutes.
