Football transfer rumours: Spurs to win race for Wolfsburg’s Van de Ven?


Today’s tell-all has replenished its war chest

Tottenham haven’t beaten many of their “big six” rivals at or to anything in recent times but latest soundings are that they’re going to pip Liverpool to the signature of Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven. The 22-year-old Dutch defender has been courted by Jürgen Klopp for much of the close season but it looks as if he’s set to embrace Big Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs rebuilding project instead. Van de Ven will set Tottenham back a modest £30m. Tottenham also want to secure a three-year deal for Clément Lenglet, who was on loan with them from Barcelona last term.

Liverpool may have fallen back in the Van de Ven race but they have apparently moved ahead of Chelsea in the tussle to sign Roméo Lavia from Southampton. The 19-year-old midfielder is set to move on from St Mary’s after Saints’ relegation and is valued at £50m. Chelsea have other Southampton options in mind, though, and are reportedly well placed to bring Tino Livramento back to Stamford Bridge. Southampton value the 20-year-old right-back at £38m though, and Newcastle are also sniffing around.
