Micky van de Ven ‘excited about what’s to come’ after signing new Tottenham deal
Micky van de Ven is excited by the direction Tottenham are heading after signing a new contract.
The defender, who is reported to have agreed a new five-year deal, was happy to commit his future to the club and will be one of the key players head coach Roberto De Zerbi builds his team around.
“It’s a special moment to sign a new deal and a proud moment for me and my family,” Van de Ven said.
“I’ve always loved Spurs, from the first day I stepped in here. I love the club, I love the fans and I’ve developed really well here.
“It’s clear the direction the club wants to go in and I want to be a part of it. I’m excited about what’s to come.”
The Netherlands international has played almost 100 matches for Spurs since originally joining from Wolfsburg in 2023 on a six-year contract and at the age of 25 arguably has plenty of progress still to make.
“Micky is one of the best centre-backs in Europe and an important player for us,” De Zerbi said.
“He has the qualities, mentality and ambition that we want at Tottenham Hotspur, and I am very happy that he has decided to continue his journey with the club.
“We are building something strong here, and players like Micky are an important part of that future.
“His decision to sign a new contract shows his belief in what we are creating together.”
