Tottenham are close to completing a deal for a defender who was also wanted by Liverpool.

Tottenham are negotiating a deal with Wolfsburg to sign defender Micky Van de Ven, according to talkSPORT

Spurs surrendered 68 Premier League goals last season, so it’s no surprise that they’re seeking for defensive reinforcements.

This was the sixth-worst record in the league, a problem that new manager Ange Postecoglou wants to address.

Spurs have so far welcomed forward additions James Maddison and Manor Solomon this summer.

Guglielmo Vicario has also joined the club as a new goalkeeping alternative, with long-term no.1 Hugo Lloris wishing to depart.

However, with the start of the new season just over a week away, they may finally be in the market for a new defense.

Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen has also surfaced as a target for the north London club.

Van de Ven could play in Tottenham’s last pre-season friendlies against Shakhtar Donetsk and Barcelona before the new season.
