Premier League giants Tottenham are in discussions to sign Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven.

Spurs are very eager to add the Dutch center back to Ange Postecoglou's squad, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer specialist has outlined the situation on Twitter, stating: "Tottenham have opened direct talks with Wolfsburg for Micky van de Ven. Dutch center-back is among top targets.

"Verbal proposal set to be submitted as van de Ven is keen on the move.

"Edmond Tapsoba remains among options on Spurs list — but he's more expensive."
