Tottenham’s key defender in danger of joining Liverpool – Should Spurs sell?

While he has been serving the sidelines for the majority of the ongoing season, the Dutch international‘s potential has got clubs lining up to sign him.

Spurs and Ange Postecoglou have felt VDV’s absence given how there has been a massive role on the faltering defensive back line at White Hart Lane.

In the system that Ange Postecoglou has deployed at Hotspur Way, a very high defensive line in possession means that Micky’s recovery pace comes in handy for when the line is breached. And with the 23-year-old also is a versatile profile who regularly takes up a hybrid LCB and LB role, given how Destiny Udogie is continually involved offensively with Micky covering his space when the North Londoners are dealt with transitional situations like on the far side.

VDV is on the Merseysiders’ radar

Premier League rivals Liverpool have expressed interest in a move for Micky van de Ven at the end of the ongoing campaign, per Football Insider, who insist that the Merseysiders have been keen to secure the 23-year-old’s services with Dutch head coach Arne Slot being keen to have his countryman at L4.

For Tottenham, any move that ends up with Van de Ven leaving White Hart Lane would be a significant setback for Ange Postecoglou (or whoever is in charge at Spurs in the offseason).

That being said, Daniel Levy would be looking for a hefty transfer fee if he is to let the 23-year-old Dutch sensation depart in the upcoming summer window. Micky’s partner, Cristian Romero, has also been linked with a move away from Tottenham, and that could end up being a huge loss as well – especially if both of them end up leaving in the same window.
