Micky van de Ven one step closer to Tottenham exit as verbal agreement reached

Micky van de Ven could soon be on his way out of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Netherlands international is arguably the best player available in North London despite a terrible season for all involved.

Things are looking brighter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium right now after avoiding relegation from the Premier League on the final day.

After securing victory over Everton, the summer transfer window is now on the agenda to try to transform this Spurs side.

That could start with a move that spells the end of the road for van de Ven at Tottenham ahead of the new campaign.

Tottenham reach agreement over Marcos Senesi deal

The fear of relegation to the Championship was real in North London and could have had a monumental impact on the Lilywhites’ future.

In the end, a win over Everton has negated any concerns and allows Roberto De Zerbi and Co. to plan for the future.

The upcoming transfer window will certainly play a key role in changing the tide in N17, with signings already on the horizon.

The first looks increasingly likely to be the free transfer addition of Marcos Senesi when his contract at Bournemouth ends.

Matteo Moretto reported on Monday that Spurs have verbally agreed a deal with the centre-back ahead of signing a four-year deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The North Londoners could be set to beat “several European giants”, including Liverpool, to his signature this summer.

Senesi has long been linked to Tottenham, and it finally looks as if a deal will be done, though it could spell bad news for van de Ven’s future.

Could Senesi replace Micky van de Ven at Spurs?

The 29-year-old is coming off the back of four years at Bournemouth, where he has largely operated as a left-sided centre-back.

He has picked up bags of Premier League experience in that time and would represent an asset for whoever signs him this summer.

Spurs could be pushing for his signature amid uncertainty surrounding van de Ven and a potential big-money move elsewhere, with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool interested.

He has been the left-footed centre-half regular in N17 since coming in from Wolfsburg, so bringing in a new option in that role may represent the end of the road.

That could see van de Ven take one step closer to sealing a North London exit ahead of the summer window’s opening date.

Senesi could prove to be a replacement for the Netherlands international as the Lilywhites move early to get a big piece of business done.
