Tottenham complete £27m Steven Bergwijn transfer after scouting PSV star for entire SEASON
TOTTENHAM have bolstered their attack after sealing a £27million move for Steven Bergwijn on a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old jetted to London yesterday to complete his medical after it was revealed the club spent an entire year scouting his performances at PSV Eindhoven.
Speaking of his switch, Bergwijn told Spurs' official channel: "I think it is an amazing move, an amazing club.
"Whatever I can bring I can give it to the club. It's a dream for any footballer to play in the Premier League.
"I want to score goals, give assists and win the Champions League.
"When I was a young boy I looked towards the coach Mourinho and now I get to play for him.
"It's a dream for me, it's an honour."
The player will wear the No23, left vacant by Christian Eriksen's move to Inter Milan, and could make his debut against Man City on Sunday.
Bergwijn was accompanied by his parents, younger brother and his agents as he completed personal terms and met the gaffer.
Leaked images online showed Bergwijn posing with a Spurs shirt before the club had even officially announced the deal.
He said: "It's great to be here. Just look at the facilities around us. When I play FIFA on the Playstation, I almost always choose a team from the Premier League. I look forward to playing in that great atmosphere.
"I think that my physical match is also good in the Premier League.
"I believe in myself and I really know that I am not there yet. Of course I have played many matches in the Eredivisie. England is a bit different, but I know what I can do."
