Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn is one of the most exciting attacking prospects in European football at present, and a move to a top European club could well be on the cards.

Bergwijn is growing a reputation as an attacking dynamite, as a key part of the prolific PSV attack which has scored an impressive 36 goals in the first nine Eredivisie games of the 2018/19 campaign.

Bergwijn started his career at Ajax where he spent six years before a rumored fallout with a youth coach caused the starlet to move to rivals PSV. Ajax’s loss was compounded early on as the youngster tore through the academy sides and was a key performer in the under-17 national team’s run to the final of the under-17 European Championships.

The winger was named as the Golden Player of the under-17 European Championships as the Dutch reached the final in 2014. Having impressed in the academy and at Jong PSV, Bergwijn was duly handed his first team debut in Memphis Depay’s last home game at PSV, as a 17-year-old.

His progress has been steady in the three-and-a-half-years since his debut, but last season was just a sign of the real talent Steven Bergwijn possesses. In his first season as a first team regular, the Dutchman contributed heavily with eight goals and seven assists as PSV regained the Eredivisie title from Feyenoord. The most notable goal coming in a 3-0 win against Ajax which sealed PSV’s 24th Eredivisie title.

Likened to Memphis Depay as he broke into the PSV first team, Bergwijn possesses frightening pace that allows him to terrorise defenses. Combined with his blistering pace, Bergwijn is also very highly skilled at dribbling causing defensive carnage with his tight and nifty control.

Predominantly employed as a winger by PSV Eindhoven, the Dutchman has an end product which could take him to the top of world football. His ability to use his pace and skill sets him apart, he has shown he has a ferocious strike of the ball scoring brilliant goals whilst assisting his teammates on a consistent basis.

Picking up from where he left off last season, the young winger has scored four goals and contributed five assists in the opening nine games of the 2018/19 Eredivisie season.

Bergwijn made his senior national team debut in the 3-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Germany in October 2018.

Linked with a move to the Premier League in January, Steven Bergwijn could well be the next Eredivisie export to join one of the Premier League’s elite clubs. Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs rumored to be interested in the 21-year-old services.

PSV will certainly have a tough job keeping hold of this attacking starlet past this season, but with the incredible skill set at his disposal, it seems like only a matter of time before Bergwijn showcases his talent elsewhere.
