He’s got everything: Jamie Redknapp blown away by Tottenham one player and tips him to emulate GOAT
Tottenham secured another significant victory this afternoon, defeating Nottingham Forest at home to bolster their pursuit of a top-four finish, a sentiment echoed by Jamie Redknapp, who likened one player’s potential to that of Virgil van Dijk.
Despite Ange Postecoglou’s attempts to downplay Champions League talk, today’s win propelled Tottenham back into the top four, surpassing Aston Villa in the standings.
An own goal followed by strikes from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro sealed Tottenham’s victory, leaving Forest still embroiled in relegation trouble.
Crucial to Tottenham’s success were standout performances, notably from defender Micky van de Ven, who not only found the scoresheet but also demonstrated defensive prowess throughout the match.
In a post-game analysis with Roy Keane on Sky Sports, Jamie Redknapp lauded Van de Ven’s abilities, drawing comparisons to his Dutch compatriot and Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk.
Redknapp expressed his admiration for Van de Ven’s potential, suggesting that the 22-year-old possesses the attributes to emulate Van Dijk’s success, given his impressive performances and skill set.
Drawing parallels to Arsenal’s Saliba, another promising young defender, Redknapp emphasized Van de Ven’s all-around abilities and highlighted the potential trajectory of his career.
While acknowledging Van de Ven’s talent, Redknapp also highlighted the importance of avoiding injuries, noting that they can hinder the progress of quick players like the Dutchman.
With Van de Ven’s youth and talent on his side, Redknapp believes that the sky is the limit for the defender, positioning him as one of the standout signings of the season, provided he maintains his form and fitness.
