Tottenham Hotspur have already agreed a six-year contract with Micky van de Ven ahead of a move to the club, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.

The North Londoners are still in talks with Wolfsburg to agree on a deal for the 22-year-old and the defender is said to be waiting for the move to come to fruition.

An agreement between the two clubs is said to be ‘close to the finish line’ after Tottenham tabled a €40m (£34.4m) offer along with a further €5m (£4.3m) in bonuses to the Bundesliga outfit.

Spurs offer van de Ven a six-year contract

The talks with the German side come as a ‘relaunch’ for Tottenham’s intent to sign the Dutch Under-21 international as part of Ange Postecoglou‘s wish to bolster his defensive options and should they land van de Ven, he will be rewarded with a long-term contract in N17.

Postecoglou told Football.London last month: “Some of it I had identified early on. I don’t think it’s any secret about some of the areas we needed to strengthen. The goalkeeper was one and central defence is another.”

With Tottenham set to kick off their Premier League campaign at Brentford in just nine days, time is ticking for Daniel Levy to get a deal over the line to at least allow van de Ven a few days to settle into his new surroundings.

Some Spurs fans are losing patience at just how long the central defensive search is taking, especially considering it is not a new issue.

The number of goals conceded in the Premier League last season was enough evidence for the recruitment team to have these targets further down the line; Edmond Tapsoba being another prime example.
