Steven Bergwijn denies refusing to play for PSV ahead of potential Tottenham transfer
Steven Bergwijn has insisted he didn’t refuse to play for PSV in order to force through his transfer to Tottenham.
Spurs are close to signing the 22-year-old after this week’s negotiations.
The winger didn’t feature in PSV’s 1 - 1 draw against Twente. Yet, the reports claimed he was out of the game to travel to London for finalizing his move.
However, the midfielder has claimed he had PSV’s interim coach Ernest Faber’s permission.
Bergwijn wrote on Instagram: "Good evening PSV fans, a lot was said about me, I’ve read all of it and I’m disappointed with how this went down. None of it is true, I never refused to play for PSV and I would never do so in the future. I’m a boy from the club, PSV is in my heart. The media is twisting this whole story, I called the coach this morning and said some things are going on and he gave his permission. He then wished me success, everything went fine and I did everything in a good manner without going behind PSV’s back. Thank you."
