Goodbye, Heung-min. Tottenham's next-generation Wackle reveals the shock of a reporter in the first tier of the transfer decision in two years



It is news that Mickey van der Penn, the next generation of Tottenham, can also leave Tottenham.

"Both Christian Romero and Van der Penn could leave Tottenham this summer," said British Football Insider in an exclusive report on the 21st (Korea time). Romero and Van der Penn have quickly established themselves as the main centre-back duo under Tottenham boss Enze Postecoglou, but both players are likely to try to leave Tottenham as the league table has fallen to 16th this season," the report said. Peter O'Rourke, who broke this article, is very good at the news of Tottenham.

Van der Penn is a Dutch centre-back born in 2001. In the 2021-2022 season, he moved to Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga and began his full-fledged career on the European stage. Van der Penn, who showed tremendous growth in Wolfsburg, was brought in in the summer of 2023 when Tottenham paid 40 million euros (about 65.3 billion won).

The signing of Van der Penn was very successful. He has been recognized as a player to lead Tottenham's defense, performing impressively enough to be named Tottenham Player of the Year in his debut season. He has not played many games this season due to a chronic hamstring injury, but his skills are still outstanding.




With Romero wanting to leave Tottenham and move to Atletico Madrid, the news that even Van der Penn is trying to leave Tottenham is shocking. Of course, Tottenham don't want to lose even Van der Penn in a situation where Romero may have to be sent.

Football Insider added "The contract between Van der Penn and Tottenham is valid until 2029. Tottenham can hold onto Van der Penn more, and Tottenham want to build a defence around Van der Penn. On the other hand, if Romero has a good offer this summer, he may have to send it. It has changed from the position that it cannot be sold a year ago", he explained.

The rumor of Van der Penn's transfer may be a matter that the agent is pushing for. Recently, Van der Penn's agent told Spanish media that Van der Penn is capable of playing for a big club like Real Madrid one day. In addition, the Real defense needs players with the same talents as Van der Penn."

Mick Brown, a former Manchester United senior scout, said, `Pander Penn's agent is strongly pushing for a transfer to Real. Real want a centre-back and are looking at a number of options. There are a lot of centre-back players in the Premier League, and we've talked about Romero before. There is no doubt that Van der Penn is on Real's radar because scouts are coming to the Tottenham game to look at it."

If Romero and Van der Penn go out, it means Tottenham will have to change its center back completely. It is very difficult to recruit two players with skills such as Romero and Van der Penn right now. This is because if Tottenham cannot go to the European competition next season, they will not have much time on the budget.

Once Van der Penn or Romero leaves, there is a high possibility that at least one top-level replacement from the central defense will come in," the media said, predicting that Tottenham will also start recruiting additional center backs.
