Daniel Levy and Tottenham got a £24m Steven Bergwijn bargain in the January transfer window

Steven Bergwijn could be back on the pitch for Tottenham next Friday when they return to Premier League action against Manchester United.

The Dutch international made an instant impression on his debut for the Lilywhites as he volleyed home a stunning goal against Man City days after his move from PSV.

Bergwijn has looked a very good addition in his seven games for the club but there is still so much more to come from him.

Jose Mourinho's men desperately needed to bring in a striker during the January transfer window due to the hamstring injury Harry Kane picked up on New Year's Day at Southampton.

With midfielder Gedson Fernandes arriving on an 18-month loan deal from Benfica, many fans questioned the decision to splash out on Bergwijn given how badly they needed to sign an out-and-out striker due to the limited options at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The £25million move, which could rise to around £27m in add-ons, has turned out to be a bit of a transfer bargain, however.

According to CIES Football Observatory transfer value list, Spurs got a very good deal on the highly-rated attacker at the end of January.

The list presents the 100 big-five league players (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1) with the highest estimated transfer values, according to the CIES Football Observatory algorithm.

Bergwijn comes 80th on the list and is valued at €57m, which is the equivalent of £50.6m.

Daniel Levy and Spurs definitely got themselves a £24m bargain in the transfer window given their deal for the attacker could rise to £27m if they have to pay all of the potential add-ons.

That figure will only continue to increase, however, if the 22-year-old continues to impress and takes his game to another level in N17.

Bergwijn was one of seven Tottenham players on list as Harry Kane (£105.6m), Dele Alli (£69.3m), Son Heung-min (£67.3m), Giovani Lo Celso (£51m), Davinson Sanchez (£43.9m) and Tanguy Ndombele (£43.4m) also featured in the top 100.
