Dutch international Steven Bergwijn has declared he wants 'to leave Spurs now', ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham rejected a £17million bid from Ajax for the winger earlier this week but the Netherlands forward has made his intentions to leave north London clear.
After netting the opener in Holland's 4-1 win over Belgium on Friday evening, Bergwijn opened up on how he hasn't been 'allowed to leave Spurs'.
Speaking to AD, Bergwijn admitted: 'I just need to go play. I want to leave Spurs now, that's for sure.
'Is it important that my new club plays in the Champions League? That's not my top priority. It would be nice, but what's important is that I'm going to play.'
'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.'
The Spurs winger has drawn interest from both Everton and Ajax, with the Dutch champions having a £17m bid rejected this week.
After the win against Belgium, Holland manager Louis van Gaal said that Spurs don’t give Bergwijn 'enough playing minutes' and that they should let the Dutch international join Ajax.
van Gaal said: 'I want him (Bergwijn) to go to Ajax as soon as possible. Tottenham don’t give him enough playing minutes and that is unbelievable when you see his qualities.
The Tottenham No. 23 has shone on international duty for van Gaal's side recently - scoring twice against Denmark and netting in the draw with Germany before their recent 4-1 thumping of rivals Belgium.
Despite this, Bergwijn only started four Premier League matches in 2021-22 - three of which came under previous boss Nuno Espirito Santo in August.

Tottenham must look for the talent on the bench since Steven B is an amazing player to play alongside The Tottenham Hotspur trio
Yes they should rotate more often instead of relying on the same players

Steven Bergwijn is suitable to be a Super Sub at Spurs . He often's reacts more and showed his class . He will be a jokes if he is being selected and choosen for Spurs starting Xl . He had wasted so many good chances infront of goals . That's why Antonio Conte didn't selected him in jis first Xl because Conte had given him so many times in starting Xl but Bergwijn didn't materialised those given chances . He shouldn't be sold by Tottenhams and Bergwijn needs to reshaped himself and get weight loss because he is now looking chubby . He need to do that if he wants to proves Antonio Conte's wrong . COYS..
Point of correction, that is his body side even before he came to England. It has never affect his performance, you can see his performance In country matches.. just conte is a good coach, he has a lots of good player in his team&every one cannot play at once.

I thought you re a Tottenham fan but your facts re misleading, conte only start him once in the league, the rest re sub. so stop misleading readers with your sentiments analysis. simple, he needs to do well in cup matches to stand a chance in starting an EPL matches...Read or be sure of your facts before you post. thank you
