Tottenham claim back half of Richarlison fee with Steven Bergwijn transfer to Ajax – and deal could fund move for Memphis Depay
Tottenham are getting their business done fast this summer. Having signed Richarlison from Everton for an initial £50million, Spurs have already started to balance the books. Getty Bergwijn is set to leave Spurs It is understood the club have agreed to sell forward Steven Bergwijn to Ajax for £25.7m. Not only does that represent half of the money spent on Richarlison, Bergwijn’s departure could also create room and fund more attacking additions at Tottenham. Owner Daniel Levy has made no secret of his ambition after Spurs secured Champions League football during the 2021/22 campaign. With an elite manager in Antonio Conte and two top-tier players now committed to the club in Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, Tottenham are looking to seize the moment and claim their place among Europe’s best. The Richarlison deal was preceded by the arrival of Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic on free transfers, plus the highly-rated Yves Bissouma from Brighton in a £26.3m move. While top-four rivals Chelsea are yet to make a single addition, Spurs have turned their attention to signing no.5.

Steven Bergwijn set to sign for Ajax despite Man Utd being prepared to offer £34m for Tottenham forward
Bergwijn set to return to Netherlands (Picture: Getty) Manchester United were ready to pay £34million to sign Steven Bergwijn but the Tottenham forward is now on the brink of a move to Ajax. Bergwijn joined Spurs from PSV Eindhoven in 2020 but is now set to complete a return to Netherlands to join the Dutch champions. Reports in Netherlands claim Ajax have now agreed a fee of £26m with the north London side, having already agreed personal terms with the forward last month. Bergwijn is now set to undergo a medical ahead of the move. Ajax, then managed by Erik ten Hag, initially tried to sign Bergwijn during the January transfer window with the Dutch manager a huge admirer of the 24-year-old. After being named the new United manager, reports suggested ten Hag was still keen on the Spurs forward with De Telegraaf reporting concrete interest from Old Trafford.
