STEVEN BERGHUIS has been warned not to ruin his career by joining a club like Everton.
The £23million-rated Feyenoord winger has his eyes set on a Premier League return after a spell at Watford five years ago.

And his form this season has alerted a number of leading clubs.
But former Spurs star Rafael van der Vaart reckons Berghuis should remain in Holland after becoming a regular starter in the national team.
He said: “I think he should stay with Feyenoord.
“He is the man there, the team is built around him.
“Do you have to go to somewhere like Everton when you are almost 29?
“If you go there and don’t play well for two games they will replace you with a clumsy Englishman and you will be out of the picture with the national team.”
Berghuis has scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists in the Dutch top-flight this campaign.
The star only made nine league appearances during his one-year stint at Watford in 2015/16.
Van der Vaart, 37, spent two seasons at Spurs and became a firm favourite after 24 goals in 63 matches.
