Steven Bergwijn has signed a new contract with PSV until 2023, the Eredivisie club have confirmed.
The Netherlands international had been heavily linked with a switch to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, while Manchester United were also reportedly interested during the Premier League transfer window.
But Bergwijn, 21, will instead continue his career-long association with PSV, where the forward has won three Eredivisie titles.
Explaining his decision, Bergwijn told PSV s official website: This is the right decision.
There were other options, but ultimately everything has to fit. For me, but also for PSV, and the result is that I stay here with great pleasure and with great confidence.
Sooo fans.
How happy are you?

Head coach Mark van Bommel expressed his delight at tying down one of PSV s most prized assets, Bergwijn having scored 14 league goals last term.
Steven has exceptional qualities and you, of course, like to have such a player in your team as a coach, he said. It is fantastic news that Steven will stay.
Bayern were reportedly interested in Bergwijn due to a lack of progress in their pursuit of Manchester City star Leroy Sane, who has sustained a serious knee injury.
Ivan Perisic has made the move to Munich on loan from Inter, while Philippe Coutinho is also set to arrive on an initial temporary deal from Barcelona.
