Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven after the defender communicated his interest in a move.
Micky van de Ven has now told Wolfsburg that he wants to complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Van de Ven’s representatives have now told Wolfsburg that he wants to go.
Romano claims that Van de Ven has a ‘strong desire’ to join Tottenham with talks between the clubs underway.
Van de Ven appears to be moving closer and closer to signing for Tottenham.
Dutch reporter Mike Verweij claimed on Monday evening that Van de Ven has verbally agreed a five-year deal with Spurs.
90Min have added that Tottenham are increasingly confident of securing Van de Ven in a £30million move.
Van de Ven is clearly keen on the move and telling Wolfsburg of his desire to leave takes him another step closer.
Ange Postecolgou may have worked his magic on Micky van de Ven
De Telegraaf – as relayed by Sport Witness – suggest that Van de Ven, his father and his agent actually made a recent trip to London to speak to Tottenham.
It’s claimed that Van de Ven had an ‘excellent feeling’ about joining Spurs after speaking to new boss Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian clearly has big plans for Tottenham and is managing to convince targets to buy into the Spurs project.
Van de Ven could be next with Tottenham seemingly closing in on a £30million deal.
The 22-year-old is a giant presence at 6ft 4in tall and will also provide Spurs with a natural left-footer at centre back.
That will help in build-up play for Postecoglou’s approach whilst Van de Ven’s impressive speed will be useful for a high line.
Van de Ven still needs to develop at Tottenham but this looks to be an exciting move for Spurs – if they can get it done.
