Netherlands international Eljero Elia has given his seal of approval for Liverpool to sign Tottenham defender Micky Van De Ven when the transfer window opens up at the end of the current season.
Marc Guehi was a player that LIVERPOOL wanted last summer, he was a payer that they were close to signing, but then Palace put a stop to any possible transfer on the deadline days of the summer window.

This January presented the club with an opportunity to sign Guehi for a bargain £30 million, but instead, the Reds board made the decision to hold off any potential move and wait to sign the England defender at the end of the season for a free.
That delay prompted Manchester City to swoop in and offer Palace the money they wanted, offered Guehi the £200k-a-week wages that he wanted and he is now under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.
That has meant that LIVERPOOL have started eyeing up potential alternatives for Guehi and According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven has emerged as a “genuine” contender to sign for the Anfield side in 2026.
Now, Elia has opened up and had his say on Van De Ven – He said: “I think van de Ven has to finish the season at Tottenham (by playing) consistently and show everybody he can go to the next level. He’s strong and has good posture. He can score, he can dribble, and he can defend.
“If he continues like this, I think after the World Cup, he can make a good step to the bigger clubs. Not that Tottenham isn’t a big club, but clubs that are a step above, like Real Madrid and Liverpool. I think it fits his career to move from Tottenham to the big teams.”
IcFootballnews Says…
We have said it before and we will say it again, Van De Ven will be interested in a move to LIVERPOOL and we believe that the Reds will make an offer at the end of the season, he wants to win trophies and he will not do that at Tottenham right now as they look like a side that is heading in the wrong direction
