Micky van de Ven has demonstrated his impressive speed in the Premier League since making the switch to England in 2023.

The Dutch defender's speed has allowed Spurs to get out of many tricky defensive spots by demonstrating impressive recovery running.

During Spurs' 2024 game against Brentford, the Tottenham defender recorded the highest-ever speed in the top division, 37.38km/h.

The 25-year-old's incredible athleticism has helped him become one of Europe's best defenders, and he was recently named Spurs' captain.

In the summer, he signed a new contract with the North London club, committing his future to the summer of 2030.

But just recently, Van de Ven revealed that Savinho has really impressed him at the club by showing equally impressive speed.

Micky van de Ven has just revealed that Savinho is one of Tottenham Hotspur's quickest players.

Tottenham paid £85 million over the summer to sign Savinho, which was a rather staggering fee for the Brazilian.

The Spurs captain was asked about who would win a 100m race out of the squad, with the defender reluctant just to say himself.

Unsurprisingly, the defender did eventually admit that he would be up there, along with Savinho.

He also revealed that Destiny Udogie is very fast and would be in contention if the squad were to race.

Djed Spence was another player he stated was extremely quick, despite leaving the club over the summer.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Van de Ven said: "I think I’ll be up there… Destiny will be up there, Savinho will be up there.

"So I think Destiny would be up there! I would say Djed (Spence), but obviously he left; he would be up there as well. So I would say me, Destiny and Savio."

Udogie will be a frustrating one for many Spurs fans as he is clearly a very talented player, but he is also rarely available for Spurs.

The Italian full-back has struggled with injuries since moving to Tottenham and has missed the last three games with issues.

Physically, the defender is such an impressive player, but right now, he has been unable to show it enough.

Tottenham will be hoping that Savinho is available to make his return from injury after the international break.

The Brazilian winger has also been missing from Spurs' last few matches with an injury, and they now need him back.

Mathys Tel was forced off with an injury against Leeds United and could be facing a spell on the sidelines.

That now leaves Roberto De Zerbi's squad thin on the ground in terms of left wingers, and having Savinho back fit will be key.

Luca Williams-Barnett could be another player whom De Zerbi uses, but having Savinho back will be important.
