Tottenham Hotspur will be fearful about the future of Micky van de Ven moving closer to the summer.

The Netherlands international has undoubtedly been one of the Lilywhites’ best signings in recent years after his switch from Wolfsburg.

His combination of pace, power and a cool head has put him in conversation with the best in his position across the Premier League.

Those shouts have certainly gone quiet in recent weeks and months with Spurs in such a mess on and off the pitch.

Van de Ven may see his future away from Tottenham as we now assess what we know about his contract situation in North London.

What is Micky van de Ven’s contract situation at Tottenham?

There is no hiding from how poor this season has been in N17, as no one player has truly covered themselves in glory.

It says a lot that the centre-back has seriously struggled himself despite having a positive career for Spurs until this point.

Alongside Cristian Romero, various head coaches have trusted the duo and haven’t truly been repaid for that over the past 12 months.

Even with that being the case, Tottenham won’t want to lose van de Ven anytime soon, given his quality.

That faith is showcased by the six-year deal he signed after his move from the Bundesliga that could keep him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2029.

Reports suggest that he is paid £90,000 per week as part of that deal, equating to a yearly salary in the region of £4.6million.

That obviously wouldn’t be possible in the Championship, so Van de Ven has to do his best to save Tottenham from relegation, or he will be on his way out.

When could Van de Ven leave Tottenham?

The situation in North London is so perilous right now that anything could truly happen between now and the end of the season.

Even with Roberto De Zerbi in charge, there is no guarantee that Premier League football will be played in N17 next campaign.

If it is to be Championship action, it is increasingly likely that Van de Ven will be on his way out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

There is every chance that he could force a way out even if the Lilywhites remain in the Premier League after two dreadful domestic seasons.

There are so many unanswered questions surrounding Tottenham right now, but not all of them are going to have the answers fans want to hear.
