The Tottenham hierarchy have one clear focus during the upcoming weeks, and it has to do with one of their most important players.
Spurs have moved swiftly to tie down several key players to new contracts over the past few months.
Rodrigo Bentancur has committed to a new deal at Spurs, while the Lilywhites have also moved swiftly to tie Djed Spence to a new contract.
The biggest boost for Tottenham came when Cristian Romero signed a new long-term deal, shortly after being announced as the club’s new captain, and the club’s focus now shifts to his centre-back partner.
Micky van de Ven next in line to receive new Tottenham contract
The Athletic have now revealed that the Spurs hierarchy have now shifted their focus to tying down Micky van de Ven to a long-term deal.
The Dutchman has been one of the few shining lights in what has been a poor season for the Lilywhites so far.
Given the 24-year-old’s excellent form this season, Tottenham are now said to be prioritising handing the Netherlands international a new, improved deal.
Van de Ven is currently on a modest salary at Spurs, and one could thus understand why the club are keen to improve the terms of his contract.
Van de Ven is a wanted man across Europe
Over recent months, it has been reported that Real Madrid and PSG see Van de Ven as their ideal centre-back signing.
Additionally, reigning Premier League champions Liverpool are also thought to be exploring a deal for the Spurs centre-back.
Tottenham will thus be aware that they risk losing out on their prized asset if they do not act quickly and make him one of the highest-paid players in their squad.
