Micky van de Ven set to commit future to Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham are increasingly confident of tying Micky van de Ven down to a new long-term contract after making significant progress in negotiations.

The Dutch defender has been one of the club’s standout performers since arriving in North London, and Spurs are now optimistic that his future will soon be secured.

Ben Jacobs provides Micky van de Ven contract update

Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that discussions between Tottenham and Van de Ven’s representatives are progressing well, with talks described as positive and advanced.

Although no agreement has been officially signed yet, there is growing confidence that a new contract will be finalised before the end of the month.

According to Jacobs, Roberto De Zerbi has played a crucial role in convincing the Netherlands international to remain at the club.

Following Spurs securing their Premier League survival after a grueling campaign, De Zerbi immediately prioritised securing the future of key squad members, placing Van de Ven right at the top of that list.

The Italian tactician played a key role in personally convincing the 25-year-old Netherlands international to stay. De Zerbi held direct conversations with Van de Ven, reiterating his crucial importance to the team’s system moving forward.

Once top-flight status was guaranteed, extension talks accelerated rapidly. Van de Ven’s clear priority has always been to extend his tenure at the club following their survival, provided the footballing vision aligned with his career ambitions.

Blow for Liverpool and Man United who were linked with the Tottenham star

The defender’s decision to commit his future to Tottenham comes as a firm setback for interested rivals.

Van de Ven had previously been linked with potential summer move to Liverpool, who saw him as an ideal long-term replacement to Virgil van Dijk as well as Manchester United, with the Red Devils keen on signing him to bolster their defence.

Van de Ven’s focus has remained strictly on Spurs, effectively shutting down any lingering transfer speculation as the club works to finalize the formal paperwork in the weeks ahead.

Him staying will come as a major blow for the likes of Liverpool and Man United but a major boost for Spurs whose defence will be extremely strong on paper.

Micky van de Ven is expected to partner his compatriot Jan Paul van Hecke, who Spurs signed for a significant fee from Brighton this summer.
