“Well we moved on quickly,” said a Twitter user, and one fan asked: “has it even been 24 hours?”
“23...savage bro,” added a Tottenham supporter, and one fan said: “STEVEN BERGWIJN NUMBER 23 ERIKSEN BODIED."
”Eriksen signed for Inter and then giving Steven Bergwijn the 23 shirt immediately is the level of pettiness that every club should aspire to match," said one supporter.

“I look from day to day,” said Bergwijn, after completing his move to the Premier League.
“I want to be a good player here, score goals, give assists. I want to win the Champions League.
“I watched last season, the team went so far, and I hope this season also.
“You have to believe in yourself. I know what I can bring to this club and to this team, that’s important. I will do what I can, and I know what I can do.”
