Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly about to complete the signing of VfL Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven.
Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that VfL Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven is flying to London today to complete his move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Italian journalist had earlier reported that Tottenham and Wolfsburg have already reached an agreement over Van de Ven.
The 22-year-old Dutch central defender will now undergo a medical at Tottenham and put pen to paper on a contract.
The Daily Mail has reported that Premier League club Tottenham will pay German outfit VfL Wolfsburg a transfer fee of £43 million for Van de Ven.
The report has claimed that the defender will sign a five-year contract with Spurs.
Micky van de Ven could flourish at Tottenham Hotspur
In our opinion, VfL Wolfsburg central defender Micky van de Ven would flourish at Tottenham Hotspur.
We believe that the 22-year-old is a very good central defender who would be a very good signing for Spurs, not just for now, but for years to come as well.
Van de Ven is one of the best young defenders in Europe and was linked with Liverpool earlier this summer.
Liverpool’s reported interest in the Netherlands Under-21 centre-back shows just how highly he is rated in the footballing community.
Tottenham were defensively susceptible last season and needed to sign a quality centre-back.
Van de Ven is likely to go straight into the Tottenham starting lineup and partner Cristian Romero in central defence.
Spurs will be aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Van de Ven made 33 appearances in the Bundesliga for VFL Wolfsburg last season.
The defender scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.
