For Tottenham Hotspur, this season has turned into a weekly test of nerves. Every match carries weight, and each result reshapes the mood around the club—especially when it comes to the future of their key players.

At the heart of the uncertainty is Micky Van de Ven. The Dutch defender has been linked with a summer exit, with rumors swirling about what might happen if Spurs can't secure their Premier League status. But a surprising update has emerged, offering a rare glimmer of hope in an otherwise anxious campaign.

Earlier reports suggested Van de Ven was ready to leave regardless of whether Tottenham stayed up or dropped to the Championship. However, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs, that's not the current situation.

Instead, the 25-year-old is reportedly open to signing a new deal—if Spurs remain in the Premier League. For a club trying to rebuild stability under Roberto De Zerbi, that's a huge boost. Van de Ven isn't just another defender. His blistering pace, recovery ability, and skill at defending large spaces make him a perfect fit for a more ambitious, attacking style of play.

Jacobs explained: "You have a profile like Micky Van de Ven that Spurs really want to fight to keep if they go down. That's going to be very difficult, but if Tottenham stay up, my information is that he's extremely open to signing a new deal. He's very happy with Roberto De Zerbi as manager, and De Zerbi coming in has enhanced the chances of Tottenham staying up, that Van de Ven signs a new deal, and Romero still goes."

De Zerbi's arrival has injected fresh energy at just the right time. Seven points from the last nine available have lifted Spurs out of the relegation zone, giving fans real hope that survival is within reach—and with it, the chance to keep one of their most valuable defenders.
