4 ways that Tottenham Hotspur could line up with Steven Bergwijn and Krzysztof Piatek | Premier League 2019-20

How could Jose Mourinho fit his potential new signing Steven Bergwijn into his Tottenham side?

#3: 4-3-3

Piatek and Bergwijn could form part of a front trio in this system

In this 4-3-3 line-up, Mourinho’s defence would remain largely the same as it has been since his arrival – with both Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sanchez able to deputise for any one of Ben Davies, Jan Vertonghen or Serge Aurier.

The midfield could compromise Gedson Fernandes, Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso, a combination that would hopefully allow Spurs to demonstrate a tough centre, but with enough ball-carrying, passing and creative skills to feed the front three.

Our attacking trio in this system could consist of Krzysztof Piatek as the frontman, with Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura attacking from wide areas. Son Heung Min could easily step into either of the wide slots, while Mourinho could also bring Dele Alli in for any of his midfield trio in order to instil more of an attacking threat.
