STEVEN BERGWIJN has admitted that he wants to leave Tottenham this summer.
And a move to Dutch giants Ajax could be on the cards.
Last month, the winger declared he was frustrated with the lack of game time he has been given at Spurs having made 32 sporadic appearances across all competitions this season.
His stance has still not changed, and he has now made his intentions to leave North London very clear.
When speaking to Dutch outlet AD, Bergwijn said: “I just need to go play. I want to leave Spurs now, that’s for sure.

“I wasn’t allowed to leave Spurs in the winter and then I didn’t have any problems. But for the last few months, I was hardly looked after there.
“I want to go and play somewhere weekly. It would be nice if there was clarity soon. My situation now has to be different.”
Bergwijn has been heavily linked with a move to Eredivisie champions Ajax.
And the former PSV star has hinted that he would like to return to Amsterdam to join them.

Earlier this week, the Dutch side reportedly had a £17million bid rejected by Tottenham, who responded by setting an asking price of £21million.
Despite the setback, Ajax still remain confident that they can reach an agreement for the former PSV forward.
