West Ham United consider move for ex Tottenham attacker Steven Bergwijn
West Ham are considering a move to sign the former Tottenham Hotspur attacker Steven Bergwijn, according to Telegraaf.
The Dutch media outlet revealed this information via Twitter where they shared the link to their podcast on 24 November.
The 26-year-old Netherlands international is currently plying his trade at Ajax after his unsuccessful stint at Spurs.
Not bad
Bergwijn’s potential move to West Ham under David Moyes could prove to be an astute and impactful decision for both the player and the club.
The Netherlands international, known for his versatility in attacking positions, aligns well with Moyes’s tactical approach, which often emphasises transition play that relies on quick wide players.
Moyes has a track record of developing and maximising the potential of versatile attacking players as he’s done with Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio, and Bergwijn’s skill set complements the manager’s preference for a well-balanced and creative offensive unit.
The Dutch winger’s pace, technical ability, and goal-scoring prowess would add a new dimension to the Hammers’ attacking options.
He is also an Eredivisie Player of the Month award winner and has even been named the UEFA u-17 EUROs Golden Player of the Tournament back in 2017.
Moyes, who values hard work and commitment, would likely appreciate Bergwijn’s work ethic and defensive contribution, making him a good fit for the team’s tactical structure.
Whether or not the Hammers actually look to pursue his services in the coming weeks, remains to be seen, as they’ll have other options too.
