Tottenham’s coup of Micky van de Ven
Signing Micky van de Ven has been a major coup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the Dutch defender was brought in a £34.5 million deal from Wolfsburg last summer.

His performances have gained recognition among the fans, with many regarding him as one of the most exciting centre-backs in the English top tier. He has been paired with Cristian Romero, as the duo has looked tremendous in the ongoing campaign. Their presence assures Tottenham on the defensive side of things, as Spurs have played highline under Ange Postecoglou’s tutelage. Micky Van de Ven has been assured of Tottenham’s high line of defence, and any breaches in the high line are mitigated by the Dutch international’s quick recovery.
Van de Ven has massive pressure on his young shoulders as he carries the club defensively. While he has featured in some of the top games, there is still massive pressure and expectations coming the former Wolfsburg defender’s way.
