If Tottenham Hotspur face the drop this season then Liverpool could take advantage and swoop for one playerShould Tottenham Hotspur face the drop this season, Liverpool must make a move for Dutch defender Micky van de Ven. The jury's out after Van de Ven's inconsistent season with Spurs.

I think Micky van de Ven is one of the quickest, if not the quickest, in the Premier League. Past Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has also doubted Van de Ven's suitability for the Reds."When speaking about Micky van de Ven, he is lightning quick, but I have played against defenders like him," Saunders told aceodds.com.

I am just not sure if Van de Ven's football brain is that good and if he can read the game. The Dutch international's aerial duels stand at a respectable 53.62 per cent, while his passing accuracy is a formidable 89 per cent, meaning there would be a lot that Slot could work with.His seven goals in all competitions this season is one more than Liverpool's top-scoring defender Virgil Van Dijk and the Spurs centre-back would offer the benefit of having a left-footed central defender in the team.Van de Ven himself also seems to be fond of his potential suitors.
