Stunning English model Ella Buffin will be heading to the World Cup this summer with a Premier League star, but she’ll be cheering on a rival nation of the Three Lions.
The jaw-dropping blonde beauty, 24, will jet off to North America with Tottenham and Netherlands star Micky van de Ven as their romance continues to blossom. The centre-back will be looking to put a miserable season with Spurs behind him as he hopes to line up next to Liverpool colossus Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Dutch defence.
Van de Ven, 23, was spotted out on a date with Derbyshire-born influencer Ella, who has almost 1million followers online, on a romantic trip away, ahead of the tournament in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada.

Ella posted sun-kissed snaps from the trip on her Instagram but none of them featured the big defender.
However, the two were snapped by a national newspaper enjoying a three-hour meal at The Grill in Marbella, Spain, before Van de Ven joined up with the national team.
Ella uploaded three posts on her Instagram of the trip away, including eye-popping bikini snaps where she was nearly falling out of her top.
The netball and athletics fan is set to see her following explode at the World Cup with the Netherlands hoping to go far in the tournament, but Ronald Koeman’s squad will have to navigate a tough group containing Sweden, Japan and Tunisia.
Ella, who was a pupil at the £45,000-a-year Repton School in Derbyshire, has enjoyed trips to Santorini, Dubai, Mykonos, Ibiza, Bali and Rhodes after studying fashion at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Her fashionista brain has seen her pose for brands including ASOS, Adidas, Goose and Gander, Cernucci and Outcast Clothing.
Van de Ven will be in action for his country on Wednesday when the Netherlands play Algeria and Uzbekistan the following Monday in their World Cup preparation friendlies.
Netherlands will then kick off their Group F campaign on Sunday 14 against Japan before playing Sweden and Tunisia.
Van de Ven helped Tottenham escape relegation by the skin of their teeth on the final day in a 1-0 win over Everton. However, the defender has been linked with an exit from north London.
Liverpool are reportedly amongst the clubs showing interest in signing him this summer, following the exit of Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer.
