Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven.
There have been rumours that the North London club are looking to sign the 22-year-old Bundesliga defender this summer and Fabrizio Romano has now provided the latest update on the situation.
Romano claims that an ‘agreement between clubs is now close’ and Tottenham are expected to complete the deal to sign the Dutchman.
Apparently, the two clubs held ‘really positive’ talks earlier today. It remains to be seen whether all parties can iron out an agreement now.

Van de Ven has been quite impressive for the Bundesliga club this past season, and he has the pedigree to succeed in the Premier League as well.
He could help Tottenham improve defensively next season. The 22-year-old could form a solid partnership with Cristian Romero at the heart of the defence.
Tottenham have been linked with players like Edmond Tapsoba, Tosin Adarabioyo and Gleison Bremer in recent weeks as well.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to sign multiple central defenders this summer.
Spurs have improved their attack with the addition of James Maddison and Manor Solomon is set to follow. Improving the defence will now be a top priority for them as they look to get back into the top four and secure Champions League qualification for the next season.
Van de Ven is only 22 and he is likely to improve with experience. If Spurs can sign him for a reasonable price, the move could look like a masterstroke.
