Tottenham Hotspur look set to reward Micky van de Ven with a new, long-term deal, with negotiations over improved terms reportedly moving in the right direction.
The Dutch defender is in line for a significant pay rise, reflecting how important he’s become to the side and his rising status within the squad.
Van de Ven still has three years left on his current deal, running until 2029, but Spurs are keen to get an extension over the line quickly having fended off interest from several top European clubs in recent windows.
Central to the progress made in talks is the centre-back’s confidence in where Tottenham are heading under the club’s new project and their long-term vision going forward.
The club have invested heavily in the squad this summer to support their new head coach, bringing in high-profile additions such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke.
Speaking during Tottenham’s pre-season tour, Van de Ven expressed his enthusiasm for the transformation happening at the club.
He pointed to the appointment of a strong new manager and the calibre of the summer signings as clear signs that Spurs are showing fresh ambition.
With Cristian Romero closing in on a big-money switch to Inter Milan, Van de Ven looks set to step up as the figurehead of Tottenham’s back line.
His blistering speed, calmness on the ball, comfort bringing it out from defence, and consistently strong performances at the back have made him one of the squad’s standout performers.
Locking Van de Ven down long-term would give Tottenham a settled, dependable presence in defence as they continue their summer overhaul and aim to climb further up the Premier League table.
