"Tottenham are set to reward defender Micky van de Ven with a new contract following his outstanding performances of late. That is according to the latest from Matt Law of The Telegraph, who claims that Spurs see Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven as the best centre-back pairing in the Premier League. Tottenham made Romero their highest-paid player in the summer and now want to offer the Dutch defender a new contract."
"Since his 34m move from Wolfsburg in 2023, van de Ven has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League. He very quicky formed a formidable partnership with Cristian Romero and became the heart of Tottenham's defence. And under Thomas Frank his performances have elevated to another level, not only defensively but also offensively. He is currently Tottenham's top goal scorer with six goals across all competitions, proving to be a massive goal threat on the other end of the pitch."
"The most recent goal came in the Champions League against Copenhagen, a world-class solo goal after running the entire length of the pitch. Defensively, Micky van de Ven has been a steady presence at the back for Tottenham this season, playing a key role in their renewed defensive solidity under Thomas Frank. The Dutch centre-back has helped Spurs keep three clean sheets in the Premier League, averaging 1.1 tackles and 1.0 interception per game, numbers that highlight his composure and timing in defensive duels."
Tottenham plan to offer Micky van de Ven a new contract and significant pay rise after his recent outstanding performances. The club ranks Cristian Romero and van de Ven as the Premier League's best centre-back pairing and previously made Romero the club's highest-paid player. Van de Ven moved from Wolfsburg for 34m in 2023 and formed a formidable partnership with Romero. Under Thomas Frank his defensive and offensive contributions have risen; he is Tottenham's top scorer with six goals, including a Champions League solo goal versus Copenhagen. He has helped keep three Premier League clean sheets, averaging 1.1 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, and 3.6 balls recovered per game.
