Micky van de Ven

Micky van de Ven is one of those defenders who makes you do a double-take — he plays center-back like a traditional stopper but accelerates like a winger who accidentally wandered into the wrong position. Born in 2001 in Wormer, North Holland, he rose through the Dutch football pyramid before landing at Tottenham Hotspur, and honestly he's been one of the few genuine bright spots at that club in a difficult stretch. At 193 cm he has the frame, but what makes him special is that he's reportedly among the fastest outfield players in the entire Premier League — a center-back who can track down strikers who've already beaten him is a rare and valuable thing. Still only in his mid-twenties, he's got a ceiling that's legitimately exciting to think about.
