According to a report in Noord Hollands Dagblad (as translated by Sport Witness), Micky van de Ven is now ready to take his former club Volendam to court, with the Tottenham man believing that they owe him ?450,000 (£384k).

It is revealed that the issue concerns an agreement that Van de Ven had with Volendam whereby he was owed 10 per cent of the proceeds from his sale.

While the Dutch club did pay the centre-back ?350,000 after his ?3.5m move to Wolfsburg in 2021, the defender did not receive any part of the fee that Volendam received after his move to Tottenham last summer.

It is explained that the Eredivisie club received 15 per cent of the fee that Tottenham paid to Wolfsburg for Van de Ven owing to a sell-on clause they had on the defender, which meant that they got ?4,455,891 of the ?40m Spurs spent on the player.
The report says that Van de Ven believes he is also due 10 per cent of the ?4.5m fee but this is disputed by Volendam, who maintain that it was a one-time agreement which had already been honoured.
