Micky van de Ven would be keen on a move to Real Madrid should the club follow up their interest by making a move, a Tottenham insider has revealed.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After Van de Ven’s agent Jose Fortes told Marca that the defender “has the level to play for a big club like Real Madrid” last week, former club scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the La Liga giants have been sending scouts to watch him and that he would be keen on the switch.

WHAT BROWN SAID
Brown said: “His agent is really pushing for a move to Real Madrid. They want a centre-back and have been looking at options. They’ve had scouts at Tottenham games so I don’t doubt Van de Ven is on their radar. If they come calling, he will want to go. It’s always difficult for players to turn down a move to Real Madrid.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Van de Ven could well be looking for a way out of Tottenham this summer, with the club’s only possible route back into Europe via winning the Europa League. He has suffered with injuries this season but has not lost his pace, which stands him out as one of the most exciting young defenders around.
