Ange Postecoglou is confident of making £25million Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven the fifth signing of his Spurs revamp.
The 57-year-old Australian has prioritised rebuilding the team's defence after their abysmal showings over the last two campaigns. Van de Ven, a 22-year-old left-sided centre-back, has impressed at Wolfsburg.
His arrival would finally address a problem position for successive managers in the white half of north London. Crucially for Spurs, he is keen on the move despite interest in him from elsewhere.
