Van de Ven signs new long-term deal with Spurs

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven has agreed to a new long-term contract with the club, signaling his commitment to the future under new manager Roberto de Zerbi. The Netherlands international joined Spurs in 2023 on a six-year deal, which was due to expire in 2029. Van de Ven's decision to extend his stay came in the wake of de Zerbi's appointment in March, which he credited for confirming his direction in the club.

During his time at Spurs, the 25-year-old has been instrumental in the team's success, including their Europa League triumph in 2025 and captaining the side in their fight against relegation last season. Van de Ven expressed his love for the club and its supporters, stating he is excited about the club's future. Tottenham boss De Zerbi praised the defender, describing him as one of Europe's best centre-backs and an important player for the team's strong future plans.
