Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven wants to complete a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window, a new report has claimed. According to TEAMtalk, boyhood Liverpool fan Van de Ven wants to seal a move to Anfield at the end of the season, amid Spurs’ fight to remain in the Premier League: “A self-confessed Reds supporter with family connections to the club, Van de Ven would prioritise Anfield above most other destinations.

There is no denying Van de Ven’s ability as a top-quality defender, with former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou backing him to shine as a left-back for the Netherlands at this summer’s World Cup: “He’s top. He could be as good as he wants to.

Once he gets going, technically he’s good, his ability to cover ground is phenomenal. You’d set him up against any striker in the world, without any fear that he will get outmuscled and definitely not outrun.” The only negative against Van de Ven is his slightly injury-prone nature, and Liverpool cannot afford to bring in a player who struggles with availability.
