Tottenham have submitted a verbal offer for Micky van de Ven, with talks ongoing with Wolfsburg to find a solution to this transfer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have made a verbal offer to Wolfsburg for Micky van de Ven. The two sides remain locked in talks for the 22-year-old Dutch defender, with rivals also sniffing around for the centre-back.
Tottenham have made important strides in the last week by making key decisions in this transfer window. After the arrival of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli, they duly signed James Maddison from Leicester City.
The latest signing has boosted the mood in north London after a dismal season where they finished eighth in the Premier League. New manager Ange Postecoglu wants to revamp their style and is considering bringing in a few players, particularly defenders, that enhance their strength at the back.
Spurs have been behind several top-quality central defensive options in this window. Tosin Adarabioyo remains an option, but as things stand, Tottenham may look to bring two centre-backs at the very least. The other target Spurs are close to signing is Micky van de Ven.

The Wolfsburg defender is close to signing for Tottenham, but many agreements are pending between the two clubs. For starters, they will have to approve a reasonable fee for the 22-year-old, who also has interest from Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp considers the Dutchman as an option, but they are not fighting to win the race with Tottenham. The north Londoners have been busy with this case for a few weeks now and have a clear advantage. Fabrizio Romano now states that Spurs have made a verbal offer for Micky van de Ven and taken another step towards bringing the 22-year-old to the club.
The details of the verbal offer are unavailable currently, but Tottenham are close to finding an agreement on personal terms. The latter remains under discussion, but there’s optimism about finding a breakthrough. There are clear indications that Micky van de Ven wants a move to Spurs, and the move will likely conclude in the coming days.
Tottenham will have to agree on a fee quickly with Wolfsburg to avoid any complications in this chase. While there’s barely any competition now, it could swiftly change at the tiniest hint of disagreement with Wolfsburg, with Liverpool and the likes lurking around in the background.
