Micky van de Ven addresses Tottenham transfer links ‘as Wolfsburg demand £26m’
olfsburg defender Micky van de Ven has addressed transfer links with Tottenham for the first time.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Bundesliga side, prompting reported interest from across Europe including both Spurs and Liverpool.
Van de Ven, who is a left-sided defender, is currently with Netherlands’ Under-21 side at the summer Euros and was on Sunday asked directly about interest from Spurs.
“I have been forwarded it,” the Wolfsburg man told Voetbal International. “I have seen it.
“[Interest] goes through my agent now. If serious things come up, he will call me.”
Van de Ven has previously insisted he is in no rush to leave Wolfsburg, who are reportedly looking for around €30million (£26m) to sell, but the idea of joining a Premier League team is appealing.
He said in May: “I’m very good [happy] at Wolfsburg, so I don’t mind staying at Wolfsburg for another year but, if I get a chance to leave, I would like to.

“I read everything… I have good contact with my agent, so I know what’s going on. I’ll see where it will lead.
“Hopefully, [moving to a bigger club] would be nice. The Premier League, maybe, yes. Who knows?”
