Tomorrow, the Premier League’s biggest game of the day comes as Tottenham welcome Manchester City to north London, and whilst it will be a very difficult game for the Lilywhites, it could be made easier by the fact that Jose Mourinho has confirmed Steven Bergwijn will be involved.

During a hectic deadline day, Sky Sports pinned down Mourinho to an interview asking about how happy he was with the business done so far, and when talking about his new Dutchman Bergwijn, he claimed that the winger would be involved against the Cityzens.
Whether or not he can make an impact on the game and get off to a positive start at his new club, be it from the bench or from the start, is yet to be seen, but having him ready and available from the start is certainly a bonus for the fans.

This is something that Poch failed at. I think it’s better to be already in the squad instead of training for 3 months

Said same thing bout Gedson. Probably be on the bench…

How about a striker

The Lilywhites are obviously keen to see Bergwijn in action, but now they could be set to see him a lot sooner than was once thought.
