Overview
- Tottenham officially announced on Monday that centre‑back Micky van de Ven has signed a new contract while the club did not disclose the deal's length or financial terms.
- Van de Ven said he was proud and "excited about what's to come," and sporting director Johan Lange and head coach Roberto De Zerbi praised him as a core part of the club's future.
- Multiple outlets report the agreement runs until mid‑2031 with a large pay increase, but those duration and salary figures have not been confirmed by Tottenham.
- The renewal reduces the likelihood of reported interest from Barcelona and Liverpool and positions Van de Ven as a likely leadership figure if Cristian Romero leaves.
- Van de Ven joined from Wolfsburg in 2023, has approached 100 appearances for Spurs, played a key role in the 2025 Europa League win and captained the side in the final six matches of last season, fitting into Tottenham's wider summer squad rebuild.
