‘He’s so rapid’: Commentator stunned by £50,000-a-week Spurs man’s speed after watching him live

The quickness of Tottenham Hotspur player Micky van de Ven in last night’s match against Fulham astounded Andy Townsend.

The Dutchman is establishing himself as a superb acquisition for Spurs. His pace seems to be the quality that amazes virtually everyone, especially when you watch him cover the ground live. He hasn’t yet made a single mistake in his Tottenham career. Here is what Andy Townsend had to say about him last night during the Premier League Productions commentary.

Andy Townsend praises Tottenham star Micky van de Ven’s speed

In the summer, Tottenham paid £43 million to acquire Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg (Sky Sports).

It was inevitable that the Dutchman would leave Die Wölfe for a bigger team because he was one of the best center defenders in the Bundesliga last season.

After several weeks of negotiations, the two clubs came to an agreement for the transfer of the 22-year-old Dutch international when Spurs called in the summer.

Van de Ven has already appeared 10 times for Tottenham in all competitions, and according to Ange Postecoglou, he has been a “pretty incredible signing.”

Although he is a huge man, to everyone’s amazement, he moves extremely quickly. Yesterday in the Premier League, he demonstrated his quickness against Fulham, and Townsend was blown away.

After Van de Ven outran Carlos Vinicius in the 19th minute, the announcer exclaimed, “He’s so swift, he is so rapid Micky van de Ven. You really don’t want to compete against him in a foot race.

“You can see how effortlessly and effectively he moves across the earth. Romero is able to play tightly, aggressively, and attempt to pinch balls in front of forwards because of this.

He is aware that he can accomplish that with a very quick companion on his side.

Spurs pulled off a transfer masterstroke with Van de Ven

James Maddison was the subject of everyone’s attention when it came to Tottenham in the summer, and we don’t blame them. Their marquee acquisition was the Englishman.

Do you know who else has been simply great for Spurs so far this season? Maddison has been absolutely outstanding. By Micky van de Ven.

Despite having never played in the nation before, the Dutchman, who earns £50,000 per week (Spotrac), has already made an impact in the Premier League at the young age of 22. He is a serious talent, and we believe Spurs have struck gold with this acquisition.

Van de Ven will only become better in the upcoming years, and it wouldn’t surprise us in the least if, by the time he hits his prime, he ends up being an even better player than Cristian Romero.
