West Ham and Tottenham reportedly to battle over Eredivisie favorites’ winger in January

London rivals West Ham and Tottenham are set to do battle over the signature of PSV Eindhoven winger Steven Bergwijn when the transfer window opens next month.

The 20-year-old has also attracted the likes of Torino – who had a £9million offer knocked back in summer – and Bournemouth, and could be a fine addition to help add depth to the attacking ranks of the London duo.

Despite just 2 goals and assists in 14 games for PSV this term, Bergwijn has constantly being a thorn in the flesh for opposition defenses with his skills, and is a reason they have gone 5 points clear at the top after 15 games.

Spurs could do with the versatility of the Netherlands international who has bagged 21 goals in 41 appearances across the age-grade competitions, with his ability to play efficiently across the forward line a key quality.

The Hammers’ lack of quality depth in attack is a problem Bergwijn can solve, but it remains to be seen if PSV will be letting go of a player crucial to their Eredivisie title hopes.

Nevertheless, the Premier League suitors are expected to test their resolve next month, and a return for his signature by summer can be expected even if they fail.
