Micky van de Ven continues to go from strength to strength at Tottenham this season. <\/p>\n
Van de Ven has been linked with an exit from Spurs<\/a> in recent weeks, despite being named in Thomas Frank\u2019s new Tottenham leadership team.<\/p>\n However, if his recent performances are anything to go by, the centre-back is here to stay. <\/p>\n His passion on the pitch is unrivalled, and it is clear to fans that his commitment shows no bounds. <\/p>\n Van de Ven netted a brace for Tottenham<\/a> in their 3-0 win over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 26 October. <\/p>\n Theo Walcott<\/a> was particularly fond of his first goal. While he pointed out Rodrigo Bentancur\u2019s role in Spurs\u2019 opening strike<\/a>, he admitted the rest was all Van de Ven.<\/p>\n Speaking on the BBC\u2019s Match of the Day<\/a> after the game, he said: \u201cWhat\u2019s really fascinating to see is Bentancur. It\u2019s all about delivery, but van de Ven puts himself in a position behind, and it\u2019s pure strength and desire to win it.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can see here that he\u2019s isolating himself from Jack Grealish, and his mindset is just to disrupt the goalkeeper without doing too much.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s important, not to do too much to make it obvious. It\u2019s a good goal, it\u2019s a fantastic finish.\u201d<\/p>\n His double means that Van de Ven has surpassed his all-time Tottenham goalscoring tally<\/a> with his goals scored this season alone. <\/p>\n Previously, the defender had netted three between 2023 and 2025. In the 2025\/26 season, he has scored five in all competitions. <\/p>\n How did van de Ven perform against Everton? <\/p>\n Fans went crazy over van de Ven\u2019s attacking performance, which is understandable, but he was also solid defensively. <\/p>\n He won 50 per cent of his ground duels and made three interceptions against the Toffees, according to Sofascore<\/a>.<\/p>\n Van de Ven made seven clearances vs EvertonHe recorded two recoveries The defender was dribbled past once across the 90 minutes<\/p>\n Now, of course, his goals are most unconventional for a centre-back, never mind one who had only netted three for Spurs before this season. <\/p>\n In fact, Van de Ven netted two goals from 1.07 expected goals, which is a massive overperformance. <\/p>\n Not only was he clinical, but the Dutch international was getting himself into good goalscoring positions, which is reflected in his 1.96 expected goals on target. <\/p>\n As a result, Van de Ven\u2019s performance against Everton was a complete one and a good indicator for Tottenham fans about what\u2019s still to come. <\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?
