Tottenham respond to Micky van de Ven transfer developments as potential suitors named
Tottenham are not ready to let Micky van de Ven leave in the coming months and will attempt to hand him a new contract.
Van de Ven is among several players who could be ready to quit Tottenham, as the situation in North London continues to deteriorate.
The Lilywhites are likely to finish in the Premier League‘s bottom half for the second consecutive season, and have won just one of their last six games across all competitions.
Tottenham are planning contract talks with Van de Ven over the coming months, but the defender may need some convincing.
Thomas Frank is under massive pressure at Tottenham, and the Dane’s potential departure could well relate directly to the future of the Netherlands international.
Bookies name favourites to sign Micky van de Ven
Van de Ven will attract a significant fee if he is to leave Tottenham this year.
The 24-year-old has made waves in the Premier League since his 2023 arrival from Wolfsburg, and is among the only consistent positives for the Lilywhites.
With blistering pace and supreme technical ability, the defender is so often the difference at the back for Tottenham.
| Micky van de Ven | Premier League 2025-26 |
| Appearances | 21 |
| Goals | 3 |
| Tackles | 23 |
| Recoveries | 76 |
| Duels won | 68 |
Yet it remains a question how long the former Volendam talent will wait for things to improve at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Van de Ven will be critically aware that he holds interest from many of Europe’s best clubs, and that he may well need to join one if he is to win the game’s biggest prizes.
Tottenham will be aware as well, and will surely demand at least double the £43million they paid to sign him in 2023.
If Van de Ven does leave, one major bookmaker has Liverpool at 7/4 odds of signing the defender, while any Spanish club (7/2) and Man City (8/1) follow closely behind.
Tottenham’s stance on Van de Ven links
Unsurprisingly, Sky Sports reports that Tottenham have no plans to allow Van de Ven to leave anytime soon.
The 24-year-old, who is under contract until 2029, is a vital part of the Tottenham squad and will undoubtedly be involved in any future manager’s plans.
Tottenham intend to sit down with Van de Ven’s representatives to discuss a new contract in the future, but his attitude towards such talks is unclear.
As long as the Lilywhites continue to struggle in the Premier League, the chances of the Dutchman’s departure grow and grow.
