Louis van Gaal urges Tottenham's Steven Bergwijn to join Ajax

Bergwijn was only selected to make four starts in the Premier League last season, yet is an important player for his country, scoring in Friday’s 4-1 win over Belgium.

“If it’s up to me, Steven Bergwijn may join Ajax as soon as possible,” the former Manchester United boss told De Telegraaf, ahead of a key period before November’s World Cup in Qatar.

Bergwijn was targeted by Ajax last January, however Conte was reluctant to let the player leave mid-season.
