One of the Tottenham Hotspur players who has been a success under head coach Ange Postecoglou is Micky van de Ven, and Eric Dier is a fan.
Micky van de Ven joined Tottenham Hotspur from VfL Wolfsburg in the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old Netherlands international defender had the chance to move to Liverpool, but he chose Tottenham because of a better chance of playing regularly.
Van de Ven established himself as a regular in the first team at Spurs, which eventually led to Dier leaving the North London club in the middle of the season.He moved to Bayern Munich.
Eric Dier praises Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven
Dier, who can play as a defender or as a midfielder, has raved about Van de Ven, who recently became the fastest player ever in the Premier League.
The report in The Times notes that Dier helped Van de Ven settle in and is effusive about “a 6ft 5in centre back who’s the fastest player ever in the Premier League and he can play as well.”
My View: Micky van de Ven is a Tottenham Hotspur gem
In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur and Netherlands international defender Micky van de Ven is a gem of a football.
I believe that Spurs have signed a really good defender. He is just 22 now and is only going to get better and develop in the coming years.
Van de Ven has had injury problems this season, but when fit and available, he has been a regular in Ange Postecoglou’s starting lineup.
Van de Ven has made 17 appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season. He has scored one goal in those games.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season and will take on Aston Villa this weekend.
