CLUB STANCE: TOTTENHAM HIERARCHY DECLARES MICKY VAN DE VEN "NOT FOR SALE" AMID CONTRACT NEWS
Tottenham is accelerating contract talks with Micky van de Ven to make him a top earner and ward off interest from Real Madrid.
Tottenham is getting closer to locking down Micky van de Ven for the long haul. Big people at the club are pushing forward talks about a new contract. It's meant to show how important he is to what they're building in North London.
People are saying Spurs are ready to bump up his pay quite a bit. They want to hold onto one of their best players. Other teams are starting to sniff around, and Tottenham thinks Van de Ven could be a main guy in the team's future.
He's already signed up until 2029, so Tottenham doesn't have to do this right now. But the team wants to talk about his contract way before it ends. That shows how much they like him and how crucial he's become since he got here in 2023.
Tottenham isn't panicking. They're planning ahead with Van de Ven. The club sees the center-back as super important to what they want to do, especially as the team changes under Thomas Frank.
Tottenham and Van de Ven's people started talking earlier this year, and it's been going well. Now, things should speed up. They're figuring out a deal that would make the defender one of the highest-paid players there.
Right now, Van de Ven makes less than Tottenham's top earners, and the club wants to fix that. The new deal would raise his pay a lot, matching what he does as a starter and leader in the locker room.
Tottenham wants to avoid situations where key players are close to the end of their contracts without knowing what's next. With Van de Ven, Spurs want to get rid of any doubt early on.
People at Tottenham think Van de Ven is more than just a really good defender. Coaches are impressed with how he looks, how consistent he is, and how calm he is when things get tough. Plus, he's a pro off the field, which has made him even more respected in the team.
More and more, Tottenham thinks Van de Ven could become captain someday or at least be a big part of the leadership. That's a big reason why the club wants to give him a better contract.
It's worth noting that other big teams in Europe have been watching him. But Tottenham has made it clear they don't want to sell him.
The club's message is simple: Van de Ven is not for sale, and this new deal is meant to make that crystal clear.
For Tottenham, keeping Van de Ven happy is about more than just rewarding him. It's also a way to protect themselves. Good, athletic center-backs are getting harder to find and more expensive.
The club knows it would be bad if a player like him got close to the end of his contract. That would bring a lot of unwanted attention and make it harder for them to negotiate. By acting now, Spurs stay in charge and make the team more stable.
This is like what they've done with other important players recently. Tottenham is focusing on keeping things consistent and clear instead of reacting to problems later. It also tells everyone in the locker room that good work and getting better will be rewarded.
Even though talks are still going on, everyone's feeling good that they can reach an easy agreement. Van de Ven likes living in London, likes being at Tottenham, and seems open to staying longer if he gets paid more.
For Tottenham, finishing this new deal would be a big win. It would make sure one of the best defenders in the Premier League stays right where they want him during a time when the team is changing a lot.
If things go as planned, this deal will show even more that Tottenham wants to build around a group of players who can always compete at the highest level. Van de Ven is definitely one of those guys.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
