Tottenham are on the verge of completing a £30million signing: Micky van de Ven
The only 22-year-old Dutchman has already reached an oral agreement with Tottenham on the personal terms of the contract. The commitment will span five years and Van de Ven is expected to bring his impressive technical ability and incredible pace to the possession style that Ange Postecoglou is teaching the team.
The Dutch defender rose to prominence in European football during a stellar season at the Volkswagen Arena, where he recorded one goal and two assists in 33 Bundesliga appearances. That outstanding performance made him a sought-after asset for a number of clubs but it is Postecoglou’s defense-based approach that seems to tip the scales in Tottenham’s favour.
While the likes of Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sánchez have contributed to the team, Van de Ven’s technical ability could prove crucial in executing the Greece coach’s tactics. With Sánchez’s possible departure on the horizon, the signing of Van de Ven could be a crucial step in strengthening Spurs’ defensive line.
In short, the upcoming signing of Micky van de Ven represents a bold and strategic move by Tottenham Hotspur. With his impressive skills and adaptability to Postecoglou’s playing style, Van de Ven could become a mainstay in the London side’s defense and boost their prospects in the upcoming Premier League season.
