Tottenham Hotspur could face a major battle to keep Micky van de Ven this summer, with a club insider revealing the Dutch defender "would want to go" if Real Madrid formalize their interest.
The 23-year-old center-back, who enjoyed a stellar debut Premier League season, has emerged as a surprise target for Los Blancos as they seek long-term defensive reinforcements. Despite only joining Spurs last summer, Van de Ven’s blistering pace, composure on the ball, and rapid adaptation to English football have made him one of Europe’s most coveted young defenders.
