Steven Charles Bergwijn (born 8 October 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or a forward for Eredivisie club Ajax, which he captains, and the Netherlands national team.
Club career[edit]
PSV[edit]
Bergwijn was born in Amsterdam[4] to parents from Suriname.[5] He started his career in the Ajax youth academy up to 2011, but due to a conflict with one of the trainers, chose to leave. He was immediately signed by PSV. Bergwijn made his first-team debut for Jong PSV in the second division on 9 August 2014 against Achilles '29.[4] He replaced Elvio van Overbeek after 77 minutes in a 2–0 home win.[6]
He scored the third goal as PSV beat Ajax 3–0 to clinch the 2017–18 Eredivisie title.[7]
Tottenham Hotspur[edit]
At the end of the January 2020 transfer window Bergwijn signed a five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth a reported £26.7 million.[8] He scored his first goal for the club in his Premier League debut, a 2–0 victory against Manchester City, and was also named Man of the Match by Sky Sports.[9] On 6 March 2020, Bergwijn suffered a sprain to his left ankle in the match against Burnley which might have sidelined him for the rest of the season,[10] but due to the Premier League break caused by COVID-19, Bergwijn had time to recover and was able to return to the starting eleven, scoring against Manchester United in Tottenham's first post-break match.[11]
On 19 January 2022, Bergwijn scored a brace against Leicester City in dramatic fashion, scoring both goals in injury time to give Spurs a 3–2 victory.[12]
Ajax[edit]
On 8 July 2022, Bergwijn returned to the Netherlands, signing a five-year contract with Ajax. The transfer fee paid to Tottenham Hotspur was of €31.25 million.[13] This was the most expensive transfer in the history of the Eredivisie, breaking the record set when Ajax bought Sébastien Haller in 2021 (€22.5 million).[14] On 14 August 2022, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Groningen.[15] On 8 August 2023 Bergwijn was announced by Ajax as their new captain replacing the recently departing Dušan Tadic.
International career[edit]
Bergwijn earned his first full international call up when Ronald Koeman named him in the Netherlands squad in October 2018.[16] He made his debut as a starter on 13 October 2018 in a 3–0 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A victory over Germany.[17]
On 29 May 2024, Bergwijn was named in the Netherlands' squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[18]
