Liverpool Are Eyeing A Move For This Tottenham Hotspur Star: Dream Option For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Liverpool are eyeing a move for Tottenham Hotspur star Micky van de Ven. It is understood that the Reds have identified the Dutch centre-back as a transfer target.

Van de Ven’s Impressive Form In North London

Van de Ven has enjoyed a solid campaign at the North London club as he has been responsible for putting in a series of impressive displays for them in the Premier League. The 24-year-old has scored six goals and earned one assist in 29 matches for Tottenham this season across all fronts.

The Dutch sensation has been a rock at the back and deserves credit for making 23 tackles, 18 blocks, 19 interceptions and 82 clearances in the Premier League. He has even been accurate when distributing possession from inside his half, based on his pass success rate of 89.3% in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the London club will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, the Reds would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting him this year.

Will Van De Ven Be A Dream Option For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?

Van de Ven is a good tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and excels at playing his way out from the back.

The Dutch sensation has got the pace to make some important recovering runs on the defensive third of the pitch. He has got a wealth of experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to settle into life at Liverpool.

Van de Ven would add more bite and steel to Arne Slot’s defence. He is good enough to compete for a regular starting place at the Merseyside club in the coming years.

At 24, Van de Ven has got his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a dream option for the Reds to pursue this January or at the end of this campaign. He might even help Liverpool challenge for some major trophies over the next few seasons. Therefore, Slot would be wise to move in for him soon.
