Tottenham ‘ready to sell Steve Bergwijn for just over HALF what they paid for him’ with AC Milan keen on transfer
TOTTENHAM are reportedly ready to sell Steven Bergwijn for a cut price in the summer, with AC Milan showing interest.
The 24-year-old Dutchman has struggled to secure a regular first team place in the Spurs side since arriving from PSV in January 2020.

He joined the Lilywhites for £27million two and a half years ago.
But since then he has managed just seven goals and 10 assists in 70 appearances for the Premier League outfit.
He was heavily linked with a move in the January window until two late goals against Leicester suddenly led Spurs to change their tune on selling him.
But opportunities have dried up once again since the arrival of Juventus man Dejan Kulusevski.
And Calciomercato are now reporting that Tottenham are willing to take a hit on the price they paid in order to offload him in the summer.
Spurs will supposedly consider offers in the region of £15-17m.

And AC Milan are thought to be monitoring the situation, with club chiefs keen to bring Bergwijn in.
Meanwhile, Daniel Levy is facing an uphill struggle to keep Spurs manager Antonio Conte happy after the Italian’s remarkable outburst on Wednesday night following the 1-0 defeat to Burnley.
Tottenham have now lost four out of their last five league matches and hopes of a top four finish are evaporating fast.
After the January window closed, Conte was quoted as saying he believes the squad is WEAKER than it was at the start of the month.
Then, following the superb 3-2 win over Manchester City, he claimed the squad was “one of the best” he had worked with.
But after the loss to Burnley, his assessment of the situation turned sour once more.
He said: “I have to talk to the club. Maybe I’m not so good. Tottenham called me to change things – but I’m too honest.

“We are doing everything to change situation but it’s not enough.
“I’m open for every decision because I want to help Tottenham.
“I’m too honest to close my eyes and continue in this way, just saying: ok, my salary is good. I’ve ambition”.
