‘Completed his Spurs medical’: Tottenham are about to announce new signing this afternoon

Micky van de Ven has completed his Tottenham Hotspur medical and is set to be officially announced this afternoon.

That’s according to Sky Sports News, via Football Daily, who revealed the latest on the transfer live on air.

Presenter Emma Paton confirmed the news when completing a transfer round-up this morning.

Paton said: “Micky van de Ven has completed his Spurs medical and will formally sign his contract today.

“A formal announcement on his move from Wolfsburg is actually expected this afternoon.”

This will be a huge boost for Spurs fans who are really seeing their side accelerate their transfer efforts in the last few days.

It seems the club will also imminently confirm the signing of striker Alejo Veliz.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed yesterday that both Van de Ven and Veliz were undergoing medicals and it seems Spurs are wasting no time.

Micky van de Ven completing his Tottenham medical will be particularly pleasing for manager Ange Postecoglou who is thought to want to revamp his centre-back department.

Micky van de Ven could be announced as a Tottenham player this afternoon after completing his medical

Whether or not Van de Ven will be the last centre-back to join the club this summer remains to be seen.

Despite this advancing move, the club are still said to be in negotiations for Barcelona’s Clement Lenglet.

Spurs are reportedly keen to discuss a deal with Barcelona before the clubs meet in a friendly today.

With Spurs now seemingly close to completing for Van de Ven it will be interesting to see if that does impact interest for Lenglet.

Both centre-backs are left-sided and it could be that they are intended to compete for a spot in Postecoglou’s XI.

Either way, it’s a busy period for Tottenham and with their league season starting this weekend a medical and deal being completed for Van de Ven this afternoon would be very timely.

Spurs had an excellent start to the summer window and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.

An imposing figure at over six feet tall, the 19-year-old has scored 11 goals in 23 league games for Rosario this season.

A number of Premier League clubs have tapped into the South American in recent years, with the likes of Moises Caicedo and Julian Alvarez starring for Brighton and Manchester City respectively.

Rosario were eager to keep the teenager on loan for the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division, which starts later this month and runs until mid-November.

“I just wait to sign my contract with Spurs, it’s imminent,” he told ESPN.

“I will say goodbye to the [Rosario] fans with formal message.

“I spoke with Gio Lo Celso and he told me that I will have his support”.

‘He’s a bit like Kane’: PL thinks ‘extraordinary’ player would ‘love’ to become Tottenham’s new striker

Journalist thinks ‘extraordinary’ striker would ‘love’ to replace Harry Kane at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford, and journalist Dean Jones thinks the striker would love to replace Harry Kane in North London.

Spurs fans are still unsure what will happen with their star striker. The Englishman has entered the final year of his contract, and Bayern Munich are pushing to sign him.

If Kane does end up leaving, Tottenham will need a replacement, and Jones has claimed on GiveMeSport that he thinks Toney would love to make that move.

Journalist says Ivan Toney would love to replace Harry Kane

Ivan Toney has been a star in the Premier League ever since Brentford achieved promotion.

The 27-year-old is an ‘extraordinary‘ striker. There aren’t many in the world who are as good as him with his back to goal, and his finishing is excellent as well.

Toney would’ve been a hot name in this transfer window, but in May, the Englishman was slapped with an eight-month ban from football for breaching betting rules (The Guardian).

The striker will not be back anytime soon, but when he does return next year, Tottenham could make a move to sign him, claimed Football Transfers.

Jones has now claimed that he thinks Toney would love to replace Kane at Spurs.

He said: “Long-term you can imagine why Toney might be of interest. Certainly, he’s been on Chelsea’s radar for a while now and I can see why he would look to step up soon and Spurs could indeed be ideal for that.

“It’s not great that he’s suspended for a while. As a fan that signing would be difficult to get too excited about in that sense. But this is a player who recently forced himself into the England conversation and consistently scores goals, while people continue to doubt whether he can continue to do so.

“In that sense, he’s a bit like Kane was in his early years. Maybe he’d love the challenge of becoming Kane’s replacement if and when we get to that stage.”

TBR View:

We don’t know what condition Toney will be in when he returns to football next year, but if he’s the same player he has been for the last two years, a move to sign him makes sense.

The 27-year-old is a fabulous striker. His ability to hold up the ball and link play up is as good as anyone in the country right now, and he could be a huge asset for Tottenham.

However, Toney only becomes an option for Spurs next year if Harry Kane ends up leaving the club. There’s a big chance of that happening, but the priority now has to be to keep hold of him.

Whether they can, however, remains to be seen.
