‘Tottenham to reward Micky van de Ven with new mega-money £140,000-a-week deal’
Tottenham could reward Micky van de Ven’s recent performances with a new contract.
Van de Ven became Tottenham’s top scorer after netting a brace in Spurs’ 3-0 victory over Everton last month.
He went on to score an early contender for goal of the season in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
His stellar form has made him a fan favourite with supporters desperate to see him spend many more seasons in North London.
Tottenham could offer Micky van de Ven a pay rise
It has been widely reported that Real Madrid are interested in signing van de Ven next summer, which comes as no surprise given his current form.
Indeed, the White club have been poking around Spurs star players for a while, with Cristian Romero linked with a move to Real Madrid last summer.
However, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham believes Spurs could offer van de Ven a new and improved contract to guarantee his services for several more seasons.
“I think with his existing deal running until 2029, Spurs are not in a panic situation,” Wenham said.
“However, as he joined from the Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, I imagine he is probably on £60-70,000 per week maximum.
“So Spurs should reward his rapid progress into one of the best defenders in the Premier League with a new deal and could even double his current salary.”
How has Micky van de Ven performed this season?
In short, the Dutch international has been incredible this season.
On top of netting six goals for Spurs thus far, he has been solid defensively:
- He has won 62 per cent of his ground duels in the league this period
- Van de Ven has won 53 per cent of his total duels
Furthermore, the defender has recovered 3.7 balls in the Premier League and has made 3.4 clearances per game, according to Sofascore.
The centre-back has been efficient on all attacking and defensive fronts, which has made him one of the most complete defenders in the world.
