Tottenham Hotspur star Micky van de Ven has been in the headlines of late- for both wrong and right reasons.

Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence attracted criticism for snubbing their gaffer Thomas Frank in the Premier League defeat to Chelsea last weekend. The duo appeared to ignore Thomas Frank, who was left blanked after heading over to talk to them after the defeat and encourage them to applaud the home crowd.

Van de Ven has since put that ‘snub’ incident in the past, after scoring an incredible solo goal in Spurs’ 4-0 thrashing of FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. The Dutchman stole the show in midweek, with the central defender’s run from the edge of his own box seeing him beat five players before calmly slotting the ball past FC Copenhagen goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski. It’s already drawn comparisons with former Spurs star Gareth Bale’s famous strike against Inter Milan in the Champions League and has been touted to win the Puskas Award.

Tottenham want to reward Micky van de Ven with a new contract that will be in line with Cristian Romero’s new deal

It isn’t surprising to see Van de Ven attracting interest from the likes of Real Madrid...
