Micky Van de Ven close to agreeing new Tottenham contract | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are close to securing the long-term future of star defender Micky van de Ven.

Negotiations over a lucrative new contract are reportedly at an advanced stage.

The 25-year-old ‘Rolls-Royce‘ defender is set to receive a significant pay rise to reflect his status as a cornerstone of Tottenham’s squad.

Van de Ven’s current contract runs until 2029, but Spurs’ hierarchy prioritised extended his deal following mounting interest from elite European clubs in recent transfer windows.

A crucial factor in the breakthrough has been Van de Ven’s enthusiasm for the club’s ambitious summer rebuild and renewed ambition.

Tottenham have backed their new manager with substantial transfer investment, bringing in high-profile signings such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernande, and Jan Paul van Hecke.

Speaking on Spurs’ pre-season tour, Van de Ven publicly signalled his satisfaction with the team’s new trajectory.

“It’s really good that you can see the club has made some changes, he said. “They have brought a really good new manager and some really good new signings. You can see the club has new ambition.”

With defensive partner Cristian Romero set for a high-profile move to Inter Milan, Van de Ven is primed to assume full responsibility as the leader of the defence.

His elite recovery speed, ball-carrying ability from deep, and commanding presence make him indispensable.

Retaining Van de Ven secures a solid foundation for Tottenham at the back as they aim to mount a charge up the Premier League table.
