Football Insider have revealed that Tottenham have agreed a £30m deal in principle with Wolfsburg for the transfer of Micky van de Ven.
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano on Thursday that the deal to take Van de Ven to Spurs is not quite a done deal, with the two parties still yet to agree on a fee.
He explained that Spurs sent a proposal of €40m (£34.4m) plus €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons for the centre-back while the Bundesliga side are demanding a total package of €50m (£43m) with easier add-ons.
This was also backed up by Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung, who claimed that Wolfsburg are not willing to relax their asking price of €50m (£43m) for the 22-year-old.

Deal agreed in principle for Micky Van de Ven
However, if Football Insider’s latest update is to be believed, Tottenham have now agreed a £30m deal with the German club, with the final documents being exchanged ahead of the transfer.
It is revealed that personal terms are not expected to be an issue as Spurs already have a verbal agreement in place with the 22-year-old, who will now be offered a long-term contract by the North London club.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is quite interesting that Spurs are seemingly continuing talks over a deal for Edmond Taposba despite being on the verge of signing Van de Ven. That suggests that Tottenham have now changed their plans and are going after both central defenders.
