Tottenham face second Bayern Munich gut punch as Tuchel ‘asks for’ new Harry Kane sidekick
Tottenham have already lost two players to Bayern Munich since Thomas Tuchel’s appointment.
Bayern Munich stung Tottenham by signing Harry Kane in the summer, and they could do it again by making a success out of Steven Bergwin. Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly keen on the winger, who left Spurs for Ajax in 2022 after being given limited opportunities to prove his worth
Losing captain and all-time top-scorer Kane in an £86.4million deal was naturally a sickener for Tottenham. The 30-year-old has hit the ground running in Germany, leading Europe’s big five divisions with 23 league goals so far this season.
Bayern could yet deliver another stinging blow by proving Spurs should never have got rid of Bergwijn. According to Bild, the German giants have made contact without Ajax to discuss the possibility of a January move.
The Dutchman is expected to surpass his 12 Eredivisie goals from the previous season, which may have raised concerns about Tottenham’s plan to split up.
If Bergwijn and Kane could successfully reunite in Bavaria, it would simply exacerbate the already deep scars. For little over £26 million, Bergwijn was mainly employed as a stand-in before being sent to Amsterdam eighteen months ago.
The winger clearly felt driven to prove Spurs had undervalued him by pursuing a starting position guarantee. Since taking over in north London, Postecoglou has admired Bergwijn’s blend of cutting edge and velocity.
