Micky Van de Ven has been linked to the distance from Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.
The Netherlands International has been exceptional since he joined the club, and it is not surprising that the best teams like to sign it. Van de Ven was also linked to Real Madrid.
Extension of Van de Ven
According to a report by the Boy Hotspur, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in signing the 24 -year -old central defender.
Tottenham is desperate to keep him at the club in the long term, and they are ready to offer him a premium salary to convince him to sign and treat. They are ready to double his current salary. It remains to be seen if the defender is ready to commit his long -term future at the club.
Spurs want to double his weekly salary from £ 50,000 to £ 100,000.
Liverpool and Chelsea want Micky Van de Ven
There is no doubt that he is a key player for Tottenham, and he is one of the best defenders of the Premier League at the moment. Liverpool could certainly use someone like him. Ibrahima Konate could leave the club on a free transfer soon, and Joe Gomez fought against persistent injury problems. It will be interesting to see if the Reds can convince the Spurs to sell them the player.
Likewise, Chelsea must also improve defensively. They need upgrades on Benoit Badiashiles and Axel Disasi. Players like Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana also had injury problems.
The two teams could use a quality defender like Van de Ven. It will be interesting to see if the player is eager to move. They will be able to offer him the platform to fight for major trophies. Even if Tottenham recently won the UEFA Europa League, they are not entirely at the level required to win the Champions League or the Premier League. It would not be surprising that the defender was tempted to move on and to join an elite club.
