Friday was a busy day for Tottenham Hotspur as one player left Spurs and another arrived at N17.

And last season, Bergwijn came off the bench to score two injury-time goals in a thrilling victory at Leicester City.

Spurs were heading for a defeat, but the Dutchman’s late heroics gave them a 3-2 win.

Those points proved crucial as Tottenham held off Arsenal to clinch a Champions League place by finishing fourth.

Bergwijn took to Instagram following his move to thank the Tottenham fans for all the memories, and said it was an honour to play for them.
