West Ham is seeking to bolster their attacking lineup in the January transfer window, and Johnny Heitinga is at the forefront of the effort to bring in new talent. Dutch football journalist Mike Verweij reports that the Hammers are eyeing a £25 million deal for Steven Bergwijn, with Heitinga leading the charge for the potential signing.
The 26-year-old Bergwijn has caught the attention of West Ham manager David Moyes, who is eager to add depth to his squad at the London Stadium. Verweij indicates that Ajax may be open to a transfer this month, possibly for a fee of €30 million (£25 million).
Bergwijn has drawn praise from past colleagues such as Dele Alli and former Tottenham coach Antonio Conte, and his record at Ajax showcases his goal-scoring and playmaking abilities. With his speed, technical prowess, and versatility on the front line, Bergwijn could be an excellent addition to West Ham’s roster.
For West Ham, the opportunity to secure Steven Bergwijn for just £25 million should not be overlooked. In the current transfer market, this represents exceptionally good value for a player of Bergwijn’s caliber.
