Tottenham is considering renewing contract for Mickey van der Penn.
The Standard reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said he was confident Van de Pen had a `big future' at the club and was not worried about signing a new contract in a hurry.
Van der Penn's performance this season is blinding. Along with new captain Christian Romero, he has been at the center of Tottenham's defence, showing his best performance since his transfer to Tottenham. Despite Romero's recent absence from a minor injury, Van der Penn's stability is not shaking.
After meeting Frank, who values set-piece, Van der Penn is also exploding in scoring. He became Tottenham's top scorer this season by scoring five goals in 13 games. In the last match against Everton, he has shown excellent goal-scoring ability, scoring two goals from corner kicks alone. On both sides of offense and defense, Van der Penn is properly proving his potential to grow into a world-class player.
The Standard is under contract until 2029, although it is understood that Van der Penn is not one of the club's highest salaries. There is a possibility of renewing the contract reflecting the importance of the team. Real Madrid have shown interest in Van de Ben in the past, but Frank has maintained a calm stance on the current situation and said the current contract is good enough.'
Coach Frank has recently been very pleased with Van der Penn. He has played really well for the club since his transfer and has grown to another level this season. He's improved in defense, too. He still has good build-up ability and added scoring ability. In particular, it is really satisfying that he is adding a heading goal. He is a threat in the set-piece situation," he said, praising Van der Penn's outstanding performance.
Regarding Van der Penn's renewal, "The personality and leadership aspects continue to grow, and as far as I know, we already have a good contract. But I'm sure he's a player with a big future at this club"I was sure Van Der Penn would be with Tottenham for a long time.
Currently, Van der Penn is receiving an annual salary of 4.68 million pounds (about 9 billion won). According to Karpology, a media outlet specializing in player salaries, it is ranked 10th in Tottenham. It is a high-ranking contract but less than half of Romero, who is currently receiving the highest treatment. After Van der Penn showed good growth at Tottenham, he is attracting attention from many big clubs, including Real. If Tottenham want to keep Van der Penn for a long time, it would be better to offer better treatment.
Recently, Tottenham is focusing on renewing contracts for key players. Romero's renewal was announced ahead of the season and is currently negotiating with Rodrigo Bentancur. Once Bentancur's renewal is finalized, the next player could be Van der Penn.
