Tottenham set to seal £30m Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven 

Tottenham have reportedly edged closer to sealing a £30m deal with Wolfsburg for Dutch defender Micky van de Ven.

The Netherlands U21 star has been on the radar of Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou for some time and the Premier League club appear to have got a deal over the line.

Van de Ven has apparently agreed a five-year deal with Spurs that will keep him at the Premier League club until 2028, according to De Telegraaf.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a stellar breakout 2022-23 season, where he started 33 Bundesliga games for the Wolves, sparking interest from clubs across Europe.

Liverpool were also reportedly interested in pursuing a deal, however it appears Tottenham have come out ahead in the race for the Wolfsburg star.

The north London club have been in direct talks with the Bundesliga side over negotiating a price for Van de Ven and are now reportedly on the verge of signing off on the deal.

Personal terms have been agreed between the player and Spurs, with a medical and final agreement with Wolfsburg appearing to be the only matters left to resolve.

Van de Ven was part of the recent Netherlands U21 squad at the ongoing European Championships that saw the nation draw all three group stage matches and exit the competition.

He played 90 minutes in every group stage clash against Belgium, Portugal, and Georgia, conceding just two goals in the process.

The Dutch prospect previously talked up a transfer while away on international duty, stating that he had been contacted by potential suitors.
