Liverpool transfer target Micky Van de Ven is all set to join Tottenham Hotspur for £43.1 Million.
Liverpool’s signing of a new left-footed centre-back has taken an unexpected turn as target Micky van de Ven appears set to join Tottenham this summer.
The deal, which has been confirmed by CBS Sports’ reliable source Ben Jacobs, involves a fee of around £43.1 million between Spurs and Wolfsburg.
The Dutch centre-half is expected to fly to his new club today, possibly attending the Shakhtar friendly, followed by his medical on Monday.
Micky Van de Ven Takes a Backseat as Liverpool misses on another target
Liverpool had initially shown interest in van de Ven, as reported by the Daily Mail in June.
However, the club seems to have shifted its focus, possibly due to ongoing negotiations with Southampton over the potential acquisition of Romeo Lavia, who comes with a hefty £50 million price tag.
While the details regarding Liverpool’s midfield reinforcements remain uncertain, there are recent links to Brazilian talent Andre from Fluminense.
The pursuit of depth in this crucial No. 6 role has been evident, and it would be surprising to see Liverpool conclude the transfer window without securing the 19-year-old’s signature.
The club’s determination to bolster its ranks is evident, particularly given the emphasis on enhancing the experience within the squad’s midfield.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Liverpool’s supporters eagerly await news of potential signings that could fortify their team’s chances in the upcoming campaign.
With the transfer window still open, the club’s intentions and actions remain under scrutiny, leaving fans hopeful for positive developments in the coming weeks.
