Leicester City manager Steve Cooper had his sights set on Dutch international Steven Bergwijn, but the winger’s surprise move to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia has left the Foxes empty-handed. Bergwijn’s decision to prioritize financial gain over competitive football has forced Cooper to reassess his transfer plans.
“Bergwijn would have been a fantastic addition to our team,” Cooper said. “His pace and skill would have brought a new dimension to our attack. Unfortunately, we respect his decision and will move forward with other targets.” Cooper emphasized the importance of signing players who share the club’s ambition and commitment to success.

Cooper remains committed to building a competitive squad at Leicester, and his team is already showing promise in the early stages of the season. Despite missing out on Bergwijn, Cooper is confident that his side can still achieve their goals. “We have a talented group of players, and we’re excited about the season ahead,” Cooper said. “We’ll keep working hard to bring in the right players to strengthen our squad and achieve sustainable success.”

The Foxes are now focusing on alternative targets, with Cooper highlighting the need for quality over quantity in the transfer market. “We want players who will make a real difference to our team, not just additions for the sake of it,” Cooper explained. “We’re looking for players with the right attitudeand application to help us achieve our objectives.”
Cooper’s approach has already yielded positive results, with Leicester’s team cohesion and tactical flexibility impressing fans and pundits alike. Despite the setback of missing out on Bergwijn, Cooper remains optimistic about the season ahead. “We’ll keep working hard and stay focused on our goals,” Cooper said. “We’re excited about the future and hungry for success.
