"Tottenham want Van de Ven to commit his future to the club, Mick Brown told Football Insider. They want to put an end to the speculation and any interest from clubs like Real Madrid and the others who have been linked over the summer. So from their point of view, it makes sense that they want to get him tied down to a new contract, and I think they're pretty confident they can get it done."
"Tottenham are looking to build a team capable of fighting for trophies regularly, and they cannot afford to sell their best players. The Netherlands International is an indispensable asset for them, and losing him is simply not an option. It will be interesting to see if the player decides to commit his long-term future to the club. It is no surprise that Real Madrid are interested in Van de Ven."

The possibility of a move to a major Spanish club could prove tempting, leaving the decision with the player.
