Tottenham:: Thomas Frank issues Micky Van de Ven contract update after heroic performance | OneFootball

Dutchman netted twice in weekend victory

Thomas Frank is confident Micky Van de Ven has a "big future" at the club, with no concerns over rushing to agree a new contract.

Van de Ven scored twice on Sunday as Spurs beat Everton, taking his tally for the season to five goals and making him the club's top scorer.

Real Madrid have previously been linked with Van de Ven but Frank is relaxed about the situation and the "good contract" he has.

“Yeah, very happy with Micky," Frank said.

"I think he has been brilliant for the club since he signed and he has taken some steps up this season. I think he actually defends even better.

"I think he is still very good on the ball, he added the goals and the headed goals, which I am very happy with. He’s a threat from set-pieces.

"Character and leadership also growing and as far as I know, we have a good contract with him but definitely a player I see with a big future at the club.”

Spurs have already tied Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur down to new contracts this season to end speculation over their futures.

Asked whether he thought it would be simple to agree fresh terms with Van de Ven to follow suit, Frank responded: “I think he is happy here, that is very important and we’re happy with him, so let’s see what happens in the future.

"I think the most important thing is it looks like he really enjoys his football, he really enjoys his time here, I am very happy with him, everyone is really happy, so that’s a good sign.”
