Liverpool are interested in signing the Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven.
The 25-year-old defender has been outstanding for Tottenham since joining the club from Wolfsburg, and he has attracted the attention of top clubs recently. Liverpool would be willing to spend around €95 million (£82m) to sign the player in the summer, according to reports from FussballDaten.
Tottenham is fighting for survival in the Premier League, and it will be interesting to see if they can stay up. Even if they do, the top players could look to move on in the summer. They will look to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies. Liverpool is certainly better placed than Tottenham to fight for League titles or the UEFA Champions League.
The Netherlands International could be attracted to the idea of joining the Premier League champions. Liverpool has a strong Dutch contingent, and convincing Van de Ven to join will not be difficult for them.
Meanwhile, the Reds have looked poor at the back this season, and they need to improve defensively. Signing the Tottenham star would be ideal for Liverpool. He could replace Ibrahima Konaté at the heart of the Liverpool defence. The French International will be out of contract soon, and he has not signed an extension with the club.
Van de Ven is not just a quality defender; he is quite accomplished on the ball, and his recovery pace could add a new dimension to the Liverpool defence. He is a proven performer in the Premier League and at the peak of his career. This could be the right time for the Premier League site to secure his signature.
Van de Ven has been hailed as a “Rolls-Royce“ player.
