New Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou will bin Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 formation and will opt for a more traditional defensive setup featuring a back four. To pull it off, he needs a new crop of players to make his tactical ideas a reality – and Wolfsburg’s left-footed centreback Micky van de Ven is incoming.##NAJAVA_MECA_7353407##Spurs will pay around $33 million to secure the transfer of the promising defender. The 22-year-old Dutchman started his career at Volendam in his homeland and switched to Wolfsburg in 2021. For the past two years, he’s been a regular feature of the Wolves first team.
