Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of defender Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg in a £43 million deal on the final day of the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old Dutch centre-back has signed a six-year contract with the north London club.
In a separate move, Tottenham also agreed to send right-back Djed Spence on a season-long loan to Championship side Leeds United. Spence, 23, joined Spurs from Middlesbrough last summer but struggled for game time.
The deals were among the late flurry of activity as Premier League clubs rushed to complete their business before the 11pm deadline. The window saw record spending, with clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United making high-profile signings.
Other notable late moves included Manchester United's £55m capture of Mason Mount from Chelsea and Liverpool's £35m deal for Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. Chelsea broke the British transfer record twice, signing Moises Caicedo for £115m and Romeo Lavia for £58m.
