Conor Coady has named Micky van de Ven as the signing of the Premier League season so far, lauding the impact that the Dutchman has had since arriving at Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
Centre-backs have often struggled to adapt to the intensity and physicality of the Premier League in their first season in England but that has certainly not been the case with Van de Ven, who has looked completely at home in the division from his first game.
The 22-year-old possesses the calmness and composure one would expect of someone with a lot more experience under his belt.
His centre-back partner Cristian Romero even described him as one of the best defenders in the Premier League in an interview with The Sun a couple of weeks ago.
The former Wolfsburg man’s outstanding attribute is his electric pace, with the centre-back recently clocking in at 37.38 km/h, which is the highest number ever posted since they began recording the stat a few years ago (Sky Sports).
Is Micky Van de Ven the signing of the season?
Coady believes that it is Van de Ven’s qualities that allow Ange Postecoglou’s men to play the style of football they do.
When asked to name his signing of the season, the Leicester City star told Optus Sport: “I went for Van de Ven at Tottenham. I think he has been an outstanding signing. We were talking about a profile of a centre-back these days, but look at where the line is for Tottenham and he has that pace to get back.
“If you are going to play that way, and how Tottenham have recruited in terms of buying him, you mentioned before about signings of the season. He would be right up there. He really, really will. It’s unbelievable. He has been a fantastic signing for Tottenham.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Van de Ven will only get better and better as he gets more experience under his belt and it will likely not be too long before he is talked up as one of the best in the world in his position.
If Tottenham are not challenging for the biggest trophies in a couple of years, I can see several of Europe’s big hitters trying to poach the Dutchman.
