Tottenham fans to keep eye on Netherlands vs Uzbekistan as two reported targets start

Tottenham's Micky van de Ven starts for the Netherlands against Uzbekistan on Monday night, as do two other reported Spurs targets.

With the World Cup now just days away from getting under way, many Tottenham fans will be following the progress of their team's players at the tournament.

One of those hoping to make history in North America is Van de Ven, who is part of a Netherlands team looking to embrace their 'dark horse' label.

His Dutch side take on Uzbekistan in a friendly on Monday evening, but he's not the only player who will be drawing the attention of Spurs fans.

Ronald Koeman has selected a strong side to face Fabio Cannavaro's team in New York City, which includes reported Spurs target Jan Paul van Hecke.

Brighton have knocked back multiple Tottenham bids for Van Hecke, but fresh reports are claiming that Spurs are confident an agreement will be reached soon.

Who is the third Tottenham-linked player starting for the Netherlands?

Tottenham could be looking to bolster their options out wide this summer, with Roberto De Zerbi sure to put his own stamp on this Spurs side.

One player in this department that has been touted with Tottenham in recent days is West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, who looks sure to leave the Hammers after their Premier League relegation.

Whether or not the 24-year-old is a serious target for the Lilywhites over the coming weeks remains to be seen, but he knows that a good World Cup will put his name firmly in the shop window.

He starts in attack for the Netherlands against Uzbekistan, with Van Hecke in central defence whilst Van de Ven looks likely to start at left-back.

So, with two potential new signings and a current first-team star in the starting lineup, this pre-World Cup friendly has plenty of Tottenham interest surrounding it.

Can Spurs fans watch Netherlands vs Uzbekistan?

Kicking off at 7:45pm UK time on Monday night, the Netherlands against Uzbekistan should be an entertaining game of football.

It's both team's final warm-up games before their respective World Cup campaigns start, and both bosses have picked starting XI's that will closely resemble their lineups for their opening group games.

Unfortunately for Tottenham fans hoping to tune in, the game has not been selected for television viewers by a UK broadcaster.

As such, supporters' best avenue to keeping up with the events of the game is by tracking the action through the respective nations' social media feeds, or via a sports radio channel.
