Liverpool line up Van Dijk successor, set sights on Tottenham star | OneFootball

Tottenham’s difficult current situation could trigger major moves in the next transfer window. One of the clubs keeping a close eye on this is Liverpool, who already have Micky van de Ven in their sights as a possible addition to strengthen their defense.

Van de Ven appears on Liverpool’s radar

According to information from Football Insider, the Anfield club could begin showing interest in the Dutch defender as early as next January.

Liverpool are closely monitoring Van de Ven’s situation, as he has established himself as one of the key players in Tottenham’s back line. His pace and ability to defend in open space make him a particularly attractive profile.

Van Dijk’s new partner or successor?

The possible arrival of the Dutchman would also be linked to Liverpool’s need to start planning the future of their defense.

Virgil van Dijk remains a fundamental figure for the Reds, but the club need to gradually prepare for a scenario in which the Dutch captain is no longer the absolute reference point of the back line.

Van de Ven could fit perfectly into that project, while also offering a reliable option in a position Liverpool are keen to keep covered with top-level talent.

Tottenham facing a possible decision

The interest comes at a difficult time for Tottenham, whose on-field performances could influence the decisions of several of their players.

For now, there is no formal offer, but Liverpool are expected to step up their monitoring over the coming months with the winter transfer window in mind.
