Liverpool move giant step closer to signing rapid Premier League star
Liverpool have taken a step closer to a Premier League signing. Though, it isnāt straightforward.
Tottenham Hotspur are going to have to make changes this summer, no matter what division they're playing in. Spurs could legitimately be relegated if things go a certain way - they finally dropped into the bottom three at the weekend.
It means plenty of their players will be up for grabs. Perhaps that's because they've been relegated and everyone must depart. Or maybe it's because they were nearly relegated and Spurs would like a new team.
Either way, Liverpool can take advantage of that situation. Spurs do have some talented players, after all, and they'd be capable of doing a job at Anfield, even mostly as squad depth.
One of those is Micky van de Ven, who the Mail linked to Liverpool earlier this year. It certainly appears that he's up for grabs regardless of Spurs' fate given the Athletic reports their 'advanced' talks with Marcos Senesi.
Spurs, it seems, are in the middle of reshaping their defence and that opens the door for Van de Ven to depart. Liverpool have a chance, then, and Senesi's apparent desire to move to North London pushes the Reds one step closer to a move.
Now, there's a long way to go and ultimately, we hope Liverpool can do better than Van de Ven. But all the uncertainty around centre-back means surely arrives.
