With transfer rumours heating up around Micky van de Ven, LIVERPOOL are reportedly among the Premier League clubs keeping tabs on the Dutch centre-back — and it’s not hard to see why the Reds might see him as a transformative addition to their back line, according to reporter Iomie Stanley.
Tottenham may have won that Europa League title last season, but they have been one of the worst big teams in the Premier League for the last couple of years, and this campaign isnt any better.
their home form is terrible, they are conceding too many goals, they are scoring far too few and Spurs fans are so unhappy, that they are booing the players off the pitch on a weekly basis for not fighting enough under boss Thomas Frank.
That has led to all sorts of speculation and rumours in the media suggesting that a number of players are looking for ways out of the club, and Van De Ven is a star that many of the big clubs are very much interested in signing.
Reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: 1. ‘One of van de Ven’s standout attributes is his exceptional speed and recovery pace. He’s been clocked among the fastest defenders in the Premier League, capable of sprinting past many attackers and recovering quickly when a high line is breached.
‘This kind of pace is a rare asset for a centre-back at any level, and it would give Liverpool the kind of defensive confidence that allows a more aggressive defensive structure.
‘At 6ft 4in, van de Ven combines height, strength and aerial ability — crucial traits for dominating both domestic and European opponents. He has consistently shown strong tackling and interception statistics in the Premier League, helping to neutralise opposition attacks and win key duels.
‘*LIVERPOOL*have frequently faced criticism for lacking a reliable ball-playing centre-back to initiate attacks from the back. Van de Ven’s comfort on the ball and willingness to carry forward or progress play could address that need. While he’s not a traditional playmaker from defence, his composure and passing reliability would add stability to build-ups under pressure.
‘At just 24, van de Ven strikes a balance between being ready to contribute immediately and possessing significant room for growth. Liverpool could benefit from investing in a defender who not only helps now but has the potential to become a long-term cornerstone of their defence.
‘For LIVERPOOL, signing Micky van de Ven would not just be about adding another defender: it would be a statement signing. His blend of speed, strength and emerging leadership, combined with his age and Premier League experience, makes him a standout candidate to anchor a rejuvenated Reds defence.’
