PSV Eindhoven winger Steven Bergwijn reportedly wants a move this summer.

Voetbal Primeur have claimed the Dutchman is ready to up sticks at the end of the current season.

Bergwijn is hot property at the moment having enjoyed a particularly productive season over in the Eredivisie.

According to WhoScored, Bergwijn has scored nine goals and made 11 assists in all competitions. His form has alerted the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United from the Premier League.

The Sun reported at the end of January that the Hammers were keen to snap up the 21-year-old.

With the news that Bergwijn is eyeing a move away from PSV at the end of the season, West Ham’s luck could be in – but what would that mean for the injured Andriy Yarmolenko?

Does Pellegrini not trust the Ukrainian?

The fact that West Ham have been linked with Bergwijn suggests that Manuel Pellegrini may not feel completely comfortable relying on Yarmolenko.

The summer signing from Borussia Dortmund has been out of action since rupturing his achille tendon against Tottenham Hotspur back in October.

It’s been all quiet regarding his potential return, suggesting that he is set to miss a lot of, if not all of the remaining games this season.

Yarmolenko arrived with a reputation for being injury prone, so it’d be unsurprising if the Hammers did move for Bergwijn.

The exciting Dutchman would likely relegate Yarmolenko to the bench, with Samir Nasri Felipe Anderson, Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini also in their for competition.
