The 24-year-old has struggled for consistent game time during his Tottenham career and recently expressed his desire to leave after a difficult 2021/22 campaign.

After the Netherlands’ victory against Belgium last month, Bergwijn said: “I just need to go play. I want to leave Spurs now, that’s for sure.

“Is it important that my new club plays in the Champions League? That’s not my top priority. It would be nice, but what’s important is that I’m going to play.

“I wasn’t allowed to leave Spurs in the winter and then I didn’t have any problems. But for the last few months, I was hardly looked after there.

“I want to go and play somewhere weekly. It would be nice if there was clarity soon. My situation now has to be different.”

After failing to land him in January, Ajax appear to have got their man, as per De Telegraaf journalist Mike Verweij.
