How to say Steven Bergwijn’s name properly as Tottenham star reveals English and Dutch pronunciations
STEVEN BERGWIJN is the talk of North London after scoring the winner on his debut against Manchester City.
So it's only right that we say his name correctly as he looks to become a crowd favourite at Tottenham.
The forward, who signed from PSV Eindhoven last Wednesday for £27million, revealed to the club the way to pronounce his name.
Bergwijn, 23, revealed that the correct English pronunciation of his name is 'Berg-wine'.
He will now be hoping it prevents any confusion when all four corners of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are singing his name.
One man hugely impressed with his impact in the 2-0 victory was boss Jose Mourinho.
Bergwijn described his strike as a dream come true, telling Sky Sports: ''It's unbelievable - a dream come true to score on my debut.
"I am so happy to be here and to make a goal. As a little kid I wanted to be here and play in the Premier League, so to score on my debut is unbelievable."
The win has lifted Spurs up to fifth and just four points adrift of Chelsea in the final Champions League spot.
