Micky Van de Ven Devising Private Tottenham Exit Plan This Summer

Published

on


Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven is devising a private plan to get out of the club this summer as details emerge about a potential exit, according to FourFourTwo.

Tottenham‘s Premier League survival hopes took a huge dent at the weekend as Brighton’s last-gasp equaliser saw them steal three points away from Roberto De Zerbi’s men, who were forced to settle for one in the 2-2 draw.

Fortunately for Spurs, 17th-placed West Ham United failed to increase their advantage above the drop zone as they were involved in a goalless game with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night.

De Zerbi’s side remain two points from safety with five games to go, with Nottingham Forest a further five points ahead after their 4-1 thrashing of Burnley on Sunday.

The north London outfit now have a simply must-win game against already-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday, in a game where they have to deliver three points in the Premier League for the first time in 2026.

If Spurs are unable to win, it would surely leave them on the brink of playing Championship football next term.

Whichever division they find themselves in next season, it seems like Van de Ven is determined to seal an exit.

According to FourFourTwo, Van de Ven is laying the groundwork behind the scenes for a summer exit out of Tottenham following their disastrous season.

Spurs are still battling for survival, but it seems as though the Dutchman has decided to leave whatever the outcome of this season is, despite the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi.

FFT claim that the 25-year-old has already privately started tidying up his off-field affairs in London, which signals that his future lies away from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

The developments in his private life suggest that, despite his current commitment to the cause to keep the club in the top flight, he wants out at the end of the season.

He could be joined through the exit door by captain Cristian Romero, who may have played his last game for the club given he has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign through injury.

Tottenham need the Dutchman more than ever in the final five games with Romero missing, and he needs to show why GIVEMESPORT sources revealed earlier this year that they rated Van de Ven at a potential English club-record fee.

The report from FourFourTwo claims that given the centre-back’s contract runs until 2029, and with Tottenham’s potential high demands, the player could be forced to leave on loan should the worst happen and they do go down.

A deal like that would allow Spurs to offload his wages in the Championship, but also potentially obtain a higher fee for him a year down the line – should they secure an immediate promotion – rather than trying to sell him as a second-tier club.

The report adds that Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the clubs interested in the ‘world-class’ defender ahead of the summer.

Man Utd Exploring Move for Liverpool Winger Isaac Konde

Manchester United are now exploring a move to sign Liverpool wonderkid Isaac Konde in a potential double transfer swoop on their rivals, according to the Secret Scout.

Man United are making a big push to strengthen their first-team squad this summer, with a full agreement to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson already reached.

The Brazilian will be far from the last signing at Old Trafford this summer though, with David Ornstein predicting that they will be the busiest Premier League club in the market.

The Red Devils could add up to two more midfielders after Ederson, should Manuel Ugarte join Casemiro in leaving United during the close season.

United are also looking at the left-back position, where they are said to have held positive talks with Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall, while they could look at the left-sided attacking position too amid admiration from both Michael Carrick and Jason Wilcox for Aston Villa and England star Morgan Rogers.

The Red Devils also have a big focus on adding the best youngsters around to the club, with the notable additions of Chido Obi, Ayden Heaven, Sekou Kone and Diego Leon in recent seasons.

Now, they are targeting two more in a similar vein.

According to Secret Scout, posting on X, United chiefs now have their eye on adding two promising youngsters from arch-rivals Liverpool to their squad.

Firstly, the Red Devils are exploring a move for 16-year-old winger Isaac Konde, with the post suggesting that the attacker is emerging as a key target for the club.

Contact between the club and Konde’s representatives have already taken place, as United look to get a deal across the line.

Konde isn’t the only target from Liverpool though, with the club also looking at a deal for his striker teammate Vincent Joseph at the same time.

Donald Trump’s Granddaughter Accused of Editing Post With New Sound After Boos

Published

By


One of the grandkids of current US President Donald Trump has been criticised for her reaction to the 79-year-old’s recent appearance at the 2026 NBA Finals.

Trump has been one of many famous faces to make an appearance at the latest edition of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.

His presence at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the Finals on Monday night caused much discussion in the sporting landscape as it meant he was the first-ever sitting US President to attend an NBA Finals game.

The decision for Trump to attend the third game of the series heavily angered Knicks supporters, however, as his plans meant there would be restrictions around and near the franchise’s first home Finals match in 27 years.

Spurs’ main man has reacted to the history-making collapse and he’s been honest in his reflection.

This led to increased security checks for fans lucky enough to have a ticket for the game, while traditional watch parties that usually take place around the venue were not permitted to go ahead.

Trump was not courtside for the game like most of the celebrities in attendance, as he was placed in a box suite alongside his granddaughter, Kai, and Knicks owner James Dolan. A few members of Trump’s administration were also present in the MSG suite.

Knicks fans made their feelings clear towards Trump and his presence at Game 3 when the American national anthem was played before tip-off, as the president’s appearance on the jumbotron was met with loud boos.

The reaction was heard clearly through the television broadcast of the game and quickly made the rounds on social media.

Kai Trump’s recent social media post of her visit to the third Knicks and Spurs contest, however, has left users puzzled.

Kai Trump’s Edited Social Media Post

Following Game 3, the 19-year-old posted a video on Instagram of her and the president standing for and singing the US anthem, with it captioned: “Thank you to 15SOF for capturing this special moment with my grandpa.”

However, many users were quick to point out that the audio in the clip Kai posted was vastly different to the broadcast version as the boos could not be heard and singer Avery Wilson’s rendition of the national anthem was not audible either.

When he appeared on the big screen, the POTUS was heavily booed by the fans inside Madison Square Garden.

This led to many social media users calling her out, with one user saying: “Why isn’t the national anthem playing in this clip? When I watched this clip LIVE, the anthem was playing and the boos were loud and clear. This is NOT an authentic clip.”

Another responded by writing: “That’s embarrassing changing the audio,” while one user stated: “It’s sad in a way that she had to change the audio from booing to cheers, my god are all the Trumps fibbers?”

New York Knicks Take 3-1 Lead in NBA Finals

The Knicks would go on to lose the third game of the Finals and see the series be pulled back to 2-1 as the Spurs triumphed 115-111 in the Big Apple. Many Knicks fans lamented the current president and his administration’s presence at the game as bad luck for the team and were against a reappearance for Game 4.

The Knicks faithful would have their wish granted, as Trump did not attend the fourth contest of the Finals on Wednesday night and a spectacular night for the home fans would follow.

The Eastern Conference champions produced a stunning Finals-record 29-point comeback to win 107-106 and be just a single victory away from a first NBA Championship since 1973.

Lewis Hall Wants to Join Man Utd After Positive Transfer Talks

Published

By


Manchester United have received a major transfer boost with the news that an England star wants to join them this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

Man United would have been keen to wrap up some of their summer transfer business prior to the World Cup starting on Thursday night, but they have only managed to get one agreement across the line before the tournament gets underway.

The Red Devils have reached a full agreement to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who received a late call-up to the Brazil national team for the trip to North America, with the player expected to complete a medical and the move next month.

United aren’t done there in terms of a midfield rebuild however, with the potential that they could add up to three new faces in the central position during the upcoming window.

Club chiefs definitely want two new faces through the door following the confirmed exit of Casemiro, but it could be raised to three should Manuel Ugarte join his South American compatriot in leaving Old Trafford.

While midfield is the clear transfer priority for INEOS and Michael Carrick, United are looking at bolstering their squad in other areas too ahead of their return to the Champions League next term.

After links with Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero were played down by the club, TEAMtalk report that United are focusing on strengthening the left-back position instead.

Carrick is looking to add competition for Luke Shaw to his squad, with the club showing strong interest in Newcastle and England star Lewis Hall.

The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the best in his position in the Premier League in recent months, with the Red Devils already having positive contact with the £60m-rated player over a switch to Old Trafford.

Indeed, Hall is said to be keen to join United as he sees it as a significant step in his development, as well as the chance to play in the Champions League after the Magpies missed out on European football altogether this term.

United face a battle to prise Hall away from Newcastle though, given the Toon are under no pressure to sell following the £70m sale of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.

Ornstein: United Target £165m Duo After Elliot Anderson Bid

Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson applauds fans via Reuters

David Ornstein dropped a bombshell update on Wednesday evening that Nottingham Forest had rejected a bid worth a total of £120m for midfielder Elliot Anderson from Manchester City.

The England international has also been a top target for United this summer, but the latest update means they will turn their attentions elsewhere, according to Ornstein.

The Red Devils know that the 23-year-old ultimately prefers to make the move to the Etihad despite their interest, with club chiefs now wanting to focus on players they think do want to join them.

Two of the names mentioned are West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes and Alex Scott of Bournemouth, but neither player will come cheap.

The Cherries want at least £80m for their midfield star, while the Hammers are demanding £85m for their Portuguese starlet even after suffering relegation to the Championship.
