Tottenham appears set to soften Christian Eriksen's exit by making its second January signing.

Almost two weeks after landing Gedson Fernandes on loan, the Premier League side is reportedly on the cusp of capturing Steven Bergwijn from PSV.

The impending transfer has caused unrest in Eindhoven, where there is said to be animosity towards Spurs.

SPURS TO SIGN BERGWIJN

Tottenham is closing in on the €30million (£25.3m) acquisition of Dutch winger Bergwijn , according to The Guardian .

The 22-year-old, capped nine times at international level, has reportedly travelled to London to finalise the deal.

PSV's interim head coach Ernest Faber claimed Bergwijn asked to be left out of Sunday's 1-1 Eredivisie draw against Twente, telling reporters: "It's his choice. We only need players who are 100 per cent focused on PSV."

The former Ajax youth player later clarified his version of events in a video uploaded to his Instagram account, where he insisted he was not a "rat" and that Faber had given his blessing to the switch.

Bergwijn was linked to Bayern Munich in 2019.
