Tottenham Hotspur linked with Micky van de Ven

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Micky van de Ven from VfL Wolfsburg in the summer transfer window, according to 90min. The report has claimed that Tottenham are edging closer to a deal with the German club over the defence.

Spurs are on the hunt for a new defender in the summer transfer window and made contact with Wolfsburg first. Liverpool are interested in the 22-year-old defender, but Tottenham are now ahead in the race for him and are expected to complete a £30 million deal. Personal terms are almost finalised as well.

Van de Ven made 33 appearances in the Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg  last season. The 22-year-old scored one goal and gave one assist in those games. Tottenham will be aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table next season after failing to end up in the European places in the league table last campaign.
