Micky van de Ven’s Tottenham Hotspur medical has been finished, and he will be officially revealed this afternoon.
That’s according to Sky Sports News, via Football Daily, who broke the news live on air.
When doing a transfer round-up this morning, presenter Emma Paton confirmed the news.
“Micky van de Ven has completed his Spurs medical and will formally sign his contract today,” Paton added.
“A formal announcement about his departure from Wolfsburg is expected this afternoon.”
This will be a major lift for Spurs fans, who have seen their team’s transfer attempts pick up in recent days.
The club appears to be close to finalizing the signing of forward Alejo Veliz.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated yesterday that both Van de Ven and Veliz were getting medicals, indicating that Spurs are not wasting any time.
The completion of Micky van de Ven’s Tottenham medical would be especially pleasing for manager Ange Postecoglou, who is understood to desire to rebuild his centre-back department.
Micky van de Ven might be named a Tottenham Hotspur player this afternoon after passing his medical.
It remains to be seen whether Van de Ven will be the club’s final centre-back signing this summer.
Despite this progress, the club is still thought to be in talks with Barcelona’s Clement Lenglet.
Spurs are apparently eager to discuss a deal with Barcelona before today’s friendly match.
With Spurs appearing close to completing a deal for Van de Ven, it will be intriguing to watch how this affects interest in Lenglet.
Both centre-backs are left-sided, and it’s possible that they’re vying for a spot in Postecoglou’s starting lineup.
In any case, Tottenham is in a busy period, and with their league season starting this weekend, a medical and contract for Van de Ven today afternoon would be quite opportune.
Spurs have enjoyed a fantastic start to the summer window and show no signs of slowing down.
