Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided Premier League relegation on the final day, edging Everton 1-0 in Matchday 38 thanks to a dominant defensive display. The centre-back pairing of Kevin Danso and Tottenham Hotspur standout Micky van de Ven drew major praise from fans after stepping up brilliantly in the absence of Cristian Romero, even looking more solid without the World Cup winner in the side.
Van de Ven, who rediscovered top form after Roberto De Zerbi took charge, has become a symbol of Spurs’ turnaround. Supporters are increasingly optimistic he is not only back to his best but also committed to staying at the club despite interest from giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
After the win over Everton, Van de Ven made it clear he believes in the club’s direction, insisting the right manager and structure are now in place. He admitted past seasons were unacceptable for a club of Spurs’ size but expressed strong confidence that major improvement is coming.
His comments have been widely welcomed, especially as his form has mirrored a return to the influential defender who once helped Spurs to European success, rather than the inconsistent version seen during their struggles. Alongside players like Conor Gallagher, Joao Palhinha, Pedro Porro, and Rodrigo Bentancur, he now looks like one of the key figures driving the rebuild rather than part of the collapse.
Overall, his words and performances suggest a player fully invested in the long-term project, with growing belief that he will remain a central figure in Tottenham’s future under De Zerbi.
