The 'massive' financials behind Micky van de Ven's new Tottenham contract

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven's new deal could be worth £200,000-a-week.

That is the opinion of Spurs expert John Wenham, after the reports that he had agreed fresh terms with the North London side.

Lilywhites supporters have had to endure years of misery in the market, and losing their best players.

However, Roberto De Zerbi has overseen a sensational change in approach which has led to the N17 club spending huge amounts and working hard to keep their best players.

Pedro Porro and Rodrigo Bentancur have already signed new deals, and the Dutchman looks set to be the next extension.

Tottenham have reportedly reached an agreement with the 25-year-old and Wenham has shared details.

What are the finer details on Micky van de Ven's new deal at Tottenham?

Wenham believes that it could well be a £200,000 weekly salary for the rapid centre-back and may run until 2033.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I understand it will run until 2032, Tottenham always attach a one-year option on these sort of deals too, so it may even go further than that.

“Massive news for Tottenham, in terms of the salary, I imagine it is in the £200,000-per-week mark, a similar level to Cristian Romero, who is on £195,000-per-week, Porro on that sort of number, Conor Gallagher who signed in January, Sandro Tonali.

“Spurs have burst their previous wage structure that arguably held them back under Daniel Levy, or maybe because of that, they now have the financial muscle to compete with the very best and maybe it was the plan all along.”

Why Tottenham fans may change their opinion on Daniel Levy

The feeling was the Levy held the club back with his frugal nature and unwillingness to spend big to improve the side, but now they can make a statement to the rest of the division.

However, as Wenham states it may well have been part of a long-term plan to compete at the highest level in the future.

It would make sense, especially with the stadium move, as if they were spending huge amounts on transfers then on that, it would have left little wiggle room, compared to what they have now.

For what it is worth, the controversial figure kept Spurs on the right side of the financial rules and has set them up for the position that they find themselves in now.
