Tottenham close to signing Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven

Manager Ange Postecoglou has been eyeing the Netherlands U-21 sensation for a while now.

Van de Ven, 22, had an impressive breakout season in 2022-23, featuring in 33 Bundesliga matches for the Wolves, attracting interest from top European clubs. Despite Liverpool's earlier interest, Tottenham appear to be leading the race for the talented Dutch star.

Having been part of the Netherlands U-21 squad at the recent European Championships, where they drew all three group stage games and exited the tournament, Van de Ven's potential has caught the attention of many.

Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed on Twitter that negotiations between the clubs are in their final stages.

While finalizing details, it is believed that a deal between the player and Tottenham could be reached soon, according to the Italian transfer market insider.
