Louis Saha has urged his old club Manchester United to poach one of Tottenham Hotspur’s best players this summer.
There is expected to be a mass exodus from Spurs if they go down this season, with several clubs ready to raid the Lilywhites for discount deals in the event of relegation.
However, Tottenham may also be at risk of losing some of their best players if they stay up, given their continued struggles domestically.
Prime among those is a 24-year-old Spurs star, who is allegedly being eyed by many of the European elite.
Louis Saha urges Man United to sign Micky van de Ven from Tottenham
Some sources have suggested that Micky Van de Ven’s head has already been turned ahead of the summer after some clubs reached out to the defender. This includes reported interest from Man United but Spurs are said to want £100m.
Saha has now identified the Netherlands international as the kind of signing that will fix United’s issues at the back.
The Frenchman has told Ozoon about the Red Devils’ summer priority: “We have players in attacking areas and on the wings, defensively we have a lot of options, but Micky van de Ven would be an exciting addition if he is available, he is the calibre of player that can help United to the next level.”
Van de Ven is also on the radar of several other clubs
We have heard over recent weeks that Barcelona are ready to step up their interest in Van de Ven this summer, while some sources have claimed that the Tottenham defender is also on Real Madrid’s shopping list.
We have also seen some outlets suggest that Van de Ven is seen as a ‘very attractive’ option by Liverpool, who are keen to strengthen their backline this summer.
It thus appears that there could be a bidding war developing for the former Wolfsburg man if he does ask to leave N17.
