Tottenham are supposedly closing in on a £30 million player with ‘exceptional’ speed.

In recent weeks, Tottenham Hotspur have been prominently connected with Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven.

Spurs appear to be closing in on a deal for the promising 22-year-old defender.

Fabrizio Romano came to Twitter on Tuesday to say that an agreement between the two clubs is close.

They said that Liverpool had reached a ‘conclusion’ to put Van de Ven on hold.

With this in mind, Tottenham Hotspur may have a clear road to getting the Dutch talent to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sky Sports has now produced a story that includes interviews with those who guided Van de Ven’s development.

It provides an intriguing glimpse into one of Europe’s most promising defensive prospects.

And it demonstrates what Tottenham fans might expect from Van de Ven if he does join n17

‘Crazy’
, Volendam’s head of methodology, remembered how two of his colleagues reacted to a youngster’s performance in an Under-19 game in April 2019.

“They were all like, ‘Woah, who is this?'” Jongkind was speaking of Wim Jonk and Jasper van Leeuwen, who were poised to take over as manager and sporting director at Volendam in the summer.

“We’d just returned from Ajax, where we’d developed a number of top young players.”

“And then we saw that boy with this remarkable, extraordinary weapon: his speed and dribbling ability from the back.” It was first-rate.

“Twenty years ago, I worked in athletics with world-class performers,” Jongkind remarked.

“I worked with the best players at Ajax, but the pace that this man has for a defender? It’s insane.

In our opinion
The atmosphere among Tottenham fans has shifted considerably in only a few weeks.

Spurs concluded the season in seventh place, while a new permanent manager remained elusive.

Tottenham are now led by Ange Postecoglou and have made numerous high-profile acquisitions.

Spurs are now trying to reinforce their defensive ranks, and there are a number of intriguing names floating about.

Van de Ven appears to be a good option for Tottenham. And then there’s Edmond Tapsoba.

Let’s see how the talks progress in the following weeks and who gets Fabrizio Romano’s “here we go” remark.
