Agent says Tottenham star would be perfect for Manchester City

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky Van de Ven has emerged as a standout performer in his debut Premier League season, seamlessly integrating into Ange Postecoglou’s XI.

The Dutch centre-back has made an immediate impact, transforming the defence and forming a formidable partnership at the back with Cristian Romero.

Van de Ven’s exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with recent reports suggesting that defending champions Manchester City are eyeing a potential move for the 23-year-old.

Dutch agent Simon Cziommer believes that some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Pep Guardiola’s City, could soon be vying for Van de Ven’s signature.

Cziommer, describing him as a dream signing for Guardiola, noted (as quoted by TEAMtalk):

“I think if he continues like this, he would not be out of place at City. Guardiola plays with seven, eight men in front of the ball, leaving you with one/two defenders at the back. Then you need speed and duelling power. And Van de Ven has that.”

Despite Manchester City already boasting a robust defensive line-up with players like Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake, their interest in Van de Ven underscores the Dutch defender’s exceptional talent.

Van de Ven has been a consistent presence for Tottenham, starting 26 out of the 27 league games he was available for this season and scoring three goals.

Moreover, Van de Ven’s speed has set him apart. In February, he was recorded as the fastest player in the Premier League, clocking a top speed of 37.38 km/h against Brentford, according to Sky Sports data.

TBH Says:

It is crazy to even think that Tottenham will be entertaining any offers for Van de Ven, given his impressive debut season.

However, if and only if they were to, they would likely demand at least double the €40 million they paid Wolfsburg last summer.
