Summarizing Tottenham news

The user provided a Chinese headline about Tottenham Hotspur, translating to: [[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot;The Athletic: Tottenham hopes to renew with Micky van de Ven; winter window signings will adjust based on Fabio Paratici's future.[[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot; It seems they want a summary. Van de Ven is a solid center-back under coach Postecoglou. Paratici, the former director who resigned in 2023 after a ban, has reportedly been working as a consultant. As of late 2024, he might still be advising the club privately.Analyzing Tottenham's winter strategy

The user refers to the adjustment of Tottenham's winter window strategy based on Paratici's status, but the current key figure is Johan Lange, making things a bit uncertain. To avoid misinformation, I should present this as reporting from The Athletic. They might extend Van de Ven's contract, which runs until 2029, possibly with better terms to fend off interest. I’ll also consider other players' contracts and possible positional needs, focusing on the impact of the AFCON and Asian Cup in early 2025.Clarifying positional needs for Spurs

Actually, AFCON 2025 is scheduled for Morocco in December 2025 to January 2026, so there's no AFCON in January 2025. I should focus instead on Spurs' likely positional needs, like potentially another center-back or a No.6 if Bissouma isn't performing well, plus maybe a backup for Son after Kane's departure in 2023. Spurs signed Brennan Johnson and secured Timo Werner on loan, eventually making it permanent. I need to be cautious here. Also, it might be helpful to ask if they want a summary or analysis.
