'Unbelievable' Liverpool target ready to pack his bags and leave Tottenham

Liverpool will have a lot of tough decisions to make in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Since they've performed so poorly this season, the Anfield outfit will clearly need to make changes to try and improve things next term.

This could mean that several members of Arne Slot's first-team squad are shipped out to make room for some new arrivals.

And, since the Reds will need to raise some funds after their £450 million spend this term, it's likely that some Liverpool fans won't be happy with the players who are moved on.

However, if Slot and Richard Hughes manage to sign players who are even better than those that they sell, the club could be good enough to start challenging for trophies and titles once again.

Which, for a team of Liverpool's quality and stature, is exactly what they need to be doing.

Micky van de Ven is ready to leave Tottenham

Liverpool's defence has been one of their main areas to have let them down this season.

Even though Virgil van Dijk has tried his best to keep his team in line, poor performances from those around him have been the only consistent thing about the Reds' defence this term.

Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong all have questions to answer next term with the trio all looking to prove their worth to the Reds' fanbase.

With these poor performances in mind, Liverpool have been linked with several new defenders this season and now, as per an update from FourFourTwo, Micky van de Ven could be coming to Anfield after the recent decision he's made about his future.

"The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been something of a managerial revolving door over the past 12 months," they wrote.

"Spurs parted company with Ange Postecoglou following the team's 17th place finish, and Europa League victory, last term, appointing Thomas Frank as his replacement.

"However, the Dane lasted only six months in the role, replaced by Tudor, whose stint was even shorter.

"Regardless of how Tottenham's season ends, whether it be in survival or relegation, it is expected more of the same will occur with the playing squad.

"Club captain and Argentine international Cristian Romero has been linked with a move to Spain's top flight, meanwhile fellow central defender Micky van de Ven is also purported to be on his way.

"FourFourTwo understands the Dutch centre-back has begun tidying up his off-field affairs in London, signalling that his future lies elsewhere."

Micky van de Ven aligns with Liverpool's transfer recruitment

The fact that Van de Ven has been called an "unbelievable" player in the past proves how good he is.

Even though his performances may not be reflected by the current predicament that Tottenham find themselves in, there's no denying that the Dutchman is an impressive talent.

The defender is only 25 years old and the fact that he can be used as a left back or a centre-back is a massive selling point.

Much like Nico Schlotterbeck, Van de Ven is a versatile defender who could offer a lot more to Liverpool than they currently have.

And, the fact that Van Dijk, Frimpong and Cody Gakpo all play for Liverpool means that he already knows how a lot of Arne Slot's men play which would help reduce the amount of time it takes to adapt.

Indeed, he'd end up costing Liverpool a pretty penny to sign him but, if Liverpool are wanting a successor for Van Dijk and someone to partner Konate for years to come, he'd be an excellent choice.
