Micky van de Ven is open to leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer, which could hamper their hopes of keeping the defender.
Tottenham are planning a major overhaul of their squad this summer, and Van de Ven is on their list of players they are hoping to keep.
Fill in the blank: Micky van de Ven is worth £__m in this current market?
Right now, the Lilywhites are sitting 16th in the Premier League table, but are just one point above the bottom three.
If Spurs do manage to beat the drop, Van de Ven is among the players the club want to build around; however, that looks quite tricky.
Tottenham want to keep just nine players
Tottenham Hotspur are planning a major overhaul this summer and are looking to keep just nine of their first-team players, according to The Telegraph.
Recent signings Conor Gallagher, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons are on the list of players the North London club are hoping to keep.
Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall are also players Spurs would like to build around in the summer.
James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have both spent the entire season out injured, but again, the Lilywhites want to keep both attackers.
Finally, Micky van de Ven is the player whom the next manager could look to build his defence around, with Cristian Romero potentially being sold.
Has Micky van de Ven just tarnished his Tottenham reputation?
Red card vs Crystal Palace…
Romero could be one of the high-profile departures this summer, along with Guglielmo Vicario and Pedro Porro.
During his five years in North London, Romero’s temperament has often been questioned, and despite signing a new contract last summer, he could now be offloaded.
Micky van de Ven is open to leaving Spurs
However, Van de Ven could scupper Spurs’ transfer plans, as the report claims that there have been suggestions that the defender is open to leaving.
Tottenham have been offering Van de Ven a new contract; however, there seems to have been little progress made.
The Dutch defender is still contracted to the Lilywhites until 2029, but is only earning around £50,000-per-week at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fortunately, Tottenham have Luka Vuskovic returning from his loan spell next summer, and he could be the perfect replacement for Romero and Van de Ven.
