The new deal significantly elevates Van de Ven’s financial terms, making him one of the highest-paid players at the club alongside key squad leaders.
Tottenham executives prioritised securing the Dutch centre-back to ward off persistent interest from leading European clubs who had been monitoring his situation.
The Netherlands international is poised to lead Tottenham’s defence for years to come, especially with Cristian Romero primed to leave.
By placing Van de Ven in the club’s top wage bracket and securing his commitment until potentially 2032, Tottenham have sent a firm message about their ambition to compete at the highest level.
They also tied Pedro Porro down to a new deal earlier this summer to ward off interest from Manchester City and Barcelona, underlining their appeal to key players despite consecutive 17th-place finishes.
However, Spurs must now produce a much stronger 2026/27 campaign under manager Roberto De Zerbi, who has been significantly backed this summer.
Tottenham have won all four of their pre-season games ahead of Saturday’s clash with Getafe, after which they will conclude preparations with a home match against Hoffenheim.
