Liverpool and Chelsea Eye Move for Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven

Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a transfer swoop for Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, according to The Boy Hotspur.

The 24-year-old has been a standout performer since his move from Wolfsburg, where he first caught the eye in the Bundesliga. His rapid development in North London has now put him on the radar of several European heavyweights.

Alongside interest from England, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also believed to be monitoring his situation. One factor that could work against Spurs is Van de Ven’s comparatively modest wages, which may make it difficult for the club to fend off richer suitors.

Initially viewing Tottenham as a stepping stone, Van de Ven could now be ready to test himself at the very highest level. Liverpool see him as a potential long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk, while Chelsea regard him as a significant upgrade on their current defensive options.

Tottenham supporters will be anxious as speculation grows. The club has a history of losing star names—including Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, and Luka Modric—once Europe’s elite come calling. Despite Spurs’ presence in this season’s Champions League, their inconsistent qualification record could leave Van de Ven tempted by a move elsewhere, especially with Liverpool and Chelsea able to offer stronger financial packages.

Whether either side makes a formal approach remains to be seen, but the race for Van de Ven looks set to be one of the big transfer stories to watch.
