Micky van de Ven has decided on what the future holds for him after helping Tottenham Hotspur secure survival in the Premier League on the final day of the season.
Until very recently, Van de Ven was being heavily linked with the likes of Liverpool, but the speculation over his future has gone quiet over recent weeks.
In fact, Spurs Web has relayed several updates over the last few weeks stating that the Dutchman is really enjoying life under De Zerbi and may even be open to signing a new contract at Tottenham.
The 25-year-old certainly stepped up massively during Spurs’ final run-in, taking on the leadership mantle following the injury to Cristian Romero.
Micky van de Ven wants to stay at Tottenham
Following Spurs’ 1-0 win over Everton, Van de Ven said he is very confident the Lilywhites will be better next season, which some Spurs fans saw as a sign that he is staying.
Now, The Independent have claimed that with the club’s Premier League status secure, the former Wolfsburg man has made it clear he wants to stay in N17.
The outlet claims that the Netherlands international wants to be a key part of De Zerbi’s backline at Spurs as the Italian goes about putting his own imprint on the squad this summer.
However, it is revealed that the Lilywhites are expected to be in the market for potentially two new centre-backs this summer.
Cristian Romero has hinted that he is on his way out of Spurs
While Van de Ven seems set to stay, things are very different with his centre-back partner, Cristian Romero, who has been widely backed to exit Tottenham this summer.
Over the past few weeks, Spanish sources have backed Barcelona to make a move for the Spurs captain.
Romero penned an emotional message to Tottenham fans after the win over Everton, which read to some like a goodbye message.
