00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Tottenham Hotspur have finalized a full verbal agreement with Dutch

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>central defender Mickey Van Devenn over a lucrative long term

3
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>contract extension following positive high level negotiations between club executives

4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and the player's representation team at Team Rayola. The new

5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>deal is set to extend his stay in North London

6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>through June twenty thirty one, with a club option to

7
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>retain him for a further twelve months. The agreement includes

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>a significant salary increase that elevates the twenty five year

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>old into the top tier of earners of the club,

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>mirroring the strategic renewal structure Tottenham executed with right back

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Pedro Paro earlier in the summer window. The breakthrough comes

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>as a massive endorsement of new head coach Roberto Deserbey's

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>sporting project at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Following a turbulent twenty

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to twenty six campaign where Van Devenn was

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>handed the captain's armband in six of Deserby's first seven

16
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>match to help navigate the club away from a relegation battle.

17
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>The Dutch international grew convinced by the board's ambition and

18
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 1>summer transfer strategy. Spurs have backed Deserbe with over two

19
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred thirty seven million pounds in new squad investment, bringing

20
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>in key editions like Sandro Tonali, Matteas Fernandez and fellow

21
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Dutch defender Jan Paul Vanheck, with defensive partner Christian Romero

22
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>expected to complete a high profile exit to Intern Milawn

23
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>or at Lettigo Madrid before the transfer window closes. Committing

24
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Van de ven long term was deemed an absolute priority

25
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>by Deserbe and board chairman Daniel Levy. Despite early window

26
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>interest from rival clubs across Europe, including Liverpool and Barcelona,

27
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Van de Venn was deemed strictly non transferable, with personal terms,

28
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>wage adjustments and contract structure fully agreed upon. Final legal

29
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 1>paperwork is being draft did for the defender to sign

30
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>before an official announcement is released ahead of Tottenham's Premier
