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

#4: 4-1-3-2

This attacking system would see Steven Bergwijn play as a supporting striker

This ultra-attacking system would see Tottenham make use of their most defensive midfielder – Eric Dier – as a screen for a 4-man defence, although Jose Mourinho could easily use the passing skills of Harry Winks or the driving style of Tanguy Ndombele in the slot, too.

Going forward, Son Heung Min and Lucas Moura would play as wide attackers – almost traditional wingers – while Dele Alli would play in a somewhat deeper role, looking to make late runs into the box in order to provide Spurs with an extra attacking threat. In matches against more defensive sides, the creative skills of Giovani Lo Celso could instead be deployed here.

Steven Bergwijn meanwhile has played in a more central role for PSV Eindhoven in the past, and while he isn’t a traditional striker per say, he could certainly play off a target-man – with Harry Kane injured, Krzysztof Piatek – as a secondary striker to look to find opportunities on goal.

Another option could of course see Alli shift forward into Bergwijn’s role as the secondary striker – with the Dutchman then either heading to the bench, or into one of the wider roles occupied by Son and Lucas.
