Tottenham: Mickey van de Ven signs new five-year contract

Tottenham defender Mickey van de Ven has signed a new contract with the club.

Van de Ven has been a key player since joining from Wolfsburg in 2023, with his previous deal expiring in 2029. His new deal reportedly runs until 2031 and will see him earn a signifcant increase in salary.

The Netherlands defender was rumoured to be seeking a departure from North London towards the end of last season after narrowly avoiding relegation, but his new contract will be a show of faith in the club’s direction under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

He said: “It’s a special moment to sign a new deal and a proud moment for me and my family.

“I’ve always loved Spurs, from the first day I stepped in here. I love the club, I love the fans and I’ve developed really well here.

“It’s clear the direction the club wants to go in and I want to be a part of it. I’m excited about what’s to come.”

Van de Ven is approaching 100 games for Spurs and was part of the side who won the Europa League in 2025, with his later bicycle kick clearance off the line helping them beat Manchester United 1-0.

Roberto De Zerbi added: “Micky is one of the best centre-backs in Europe and an important player for us.

“He has the qualities, mentality and ambition that we want at Tottenham Hotspur, and I am very happy that he has decided to continue his journey with the club.

“We are building something strong here, and players like Micky are an important part of that future. His decision to sign a new contract shows his belief in what we are creating together.”
