Tottenham has no intention of selling Mickey Van the Pen.

Recently, there have been talks in Spain that Real Madrid is aiming for the pen. Britain's The Hard Task quoted Spanish media outlet Pichahes on the 10th (Korea time) saying that `Real, led by Sabi Alonso, is interested in recruiting Tottenham defender Van Der Penn.'

The media said 'Real are trying to strengthen their defense by recruiting a promising centre-back and have set their target as Tottenham's Van der Penn. "Since joining Tottenham, we have achieved remarkable growth, and Real want to sign him.

Real may be interested in Van der Penn, but Tottenham will never sell Van der Penn. Peter O'Rourke, who plays for Football Insider in England and is very knowledgeable about Tottenham's internal information, said on his personal social media on the 11th that Van der Penn is 24 years old, under contract until 2029, and can play central defender and left full-back. With its fast speed, any player can defend himself and his ability to spray balls is excellent. He is also a flawless player in the management of the game. If it costs 70 million pounds (about 131.7 billion won), it can only recruit one of the van der Penn legs. "A ridiculous transfer rumor..." Tottenham insisted that they would protect Van der Penn unconditionally.

Van Der Penn moved to Tottenham in the summer of 2023 after proving his skills as a mainstay in Wolfsburg, Germany's Bundesliga. Van der Penn immediately became a key defender for Tottenham. Based on the highest level of speed in the Premier League (EPL), stable ball distribution, and gritty defense, he has perfectly adapted to Tottenham.

His relationship with Christian Romero was solid. On the day Romero and Van der Penn came out together, Tottenham's defense did not collapse easily. Van der Penn, who immediately made a leap into the league's top center back. He is still young, born in 2001, so there is room for further development. Big clubs such as Real are bound to drool.

The only drawback is that injuries such as hamstrings are frequent. He has been out of power six times due to a muscle injury only after his transfer to Tottenham. He has a glassy temperament, but his presence on the field is excellent. In particular, Van der Penn's presence in this year's Europa League final reached its peak.

With a 1-0 lead, Rasmus Hoylun's header headed into the Tottenham net. At this time, Van der Penn blew himself out and blocked Tottenham's lead. Tottenham's victory could have been in vain without Van der Penn's clearance. Having become such an important player, Tottenham is trying to protect Van der Penn even if he gets the attention of other clubs.

Meanwhile, for Real, David Alaba is not recovering properly from his injury, and Antonio Rudiger is preparing for a generational change of center back as he gets older. Currently, he is constantly connected to Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate.
