Micky van de Ven reacts to confirmed Tottenham contract news
Micky van de Ven has reacted to some confirmed Tottenham Hotspur contract news announced on Sunday.
The Dutchman has been an important asset for Tottenham over the last few seasons, with his influence growing increasingly.
With Cristian Romero almost assured to depart Spurs in the summer, the spot for vice-captain will open.
With James Maddison likely to maintain his role within the leadership group, van de Ven could emerge as his deputy.
Another experienced name in the Tottenham squad would be Pedro Porro, who has now committed his future to staying in N17.
Van de Ven was quick to react to the news, with both Spurs stars away at the World Cup.
How did Micky van de Ven react to Pedro Porro's new contract
Tottenham have confirmed via their social media channels that Porro has extended his contract in North London.
The post has been shared over on Instagram, where a couple of Porro's teammates have been quick to react.
Van de Ven simply left a like on the post announcing the news, with the Dutchman now set to continue playing alongside his defensive teammate
So far, van de Ven has played 86 matches on the same side as Porro, with the pair averaging a points per game of 1.52.
In that period, they have also combined for two goals, with both arriving in the 2025-2026 season.
Others such as Xavi Simons and Kevin Danso, are among those to like, with youth stars Alfie Dorrington and Rio Kyerematen also reacting.
Who should Tottenham prioritise next for a contract?
With Porro's contract confirmed, attention should turn to van de Ven next. While the defender is contracted until 2029, meaning little need to rush, there has been plenty of speculation on his future.
The signing of a new deal would be a statement of intent and make clear that Tottenham is a place where players want to play.
A new contract would put any suggestions of an exit to bed and truly cement the Dutchman's place within the current Tottenham set-up.
It would not be a shock to see Roberto De Zerbi put even more responsbility on the defender by making him the Cristian Romero replacement in terms of captaincy.
