Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is full of praise for impressive Tottenham duo
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has voiced his opinion on Tottenham’s title credentials this season. The Frenchman, who managed Arsenal for over two decades, believes that Tottenham is a genuine contender for the Premier League title.
Wenger’s assessment of Tottenham’s potential title challenge is noteworthy, given his extensive experience in English football. He stands particularly impressed with two key additions to the Tottenham squad – Micky van de Ven and James Maddison.
Maddison, who joined Tottenham during the summer transfer window, has had a significant impact on the team. His role as a creative midfielder has added a new dimension to the squad. He serves as the link between the low midfield and high midfield, providing technical creativity and helping the team transition effectively from defence to attack.
The Englishman’s contribution has been evident in his impressive statistics, with three goals and five assists from 11 appearances, demonstrating his ability to make a meaningful impact in the final third. Here is what Wenger told Metro on Madders:
“They bought Maddison, who is a great player and who is that link from low midfield to high midfield, and added some technical creativity to the team.”
Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven, another summer signing, has been a revelation in Tottenham’s defence. The Dutch defender has exhibited exceptional qualities that have solidified the team’s backline.
His presence has added defensive stability and reliability, making him a standout performer in the squad. Van de Ven’s consistent performances have contributed to Tottenham’s strong defensive record and overall team success.
“They bought Van de Ven who I find exceptional. I find him absolutely exceptional.”
“They had weaknesses there [at the back] and last year [Hugo] Lloris didn’t have the best of seasons as well.”
As Tottenham aims for a title challenge, the performances of players like Maddison and van de Ven become increasingly significant. Their abilities to excel in their respective roles are key factors in the team’s bid for success.
