🗣️ Does he worths it at all?
🗣️ Mickey is clearly biased!
🗣️ How could he be selected ahead of Mickey?
Fans goes wild as Danny Murphy picks ONE Tottenham star in his Team of the Season and it’s not Mickey Van de Ven – “ONE key stats shows Tottenham team is nothing without him” Murphy replied fan!
Danny Murphy has included just one Tottenham Hotspur player in his 2023/24 Premier League Team of the Season.
Spurs started the campaign in magnificent style, but their performances recently have been really poor. They’ve won just three of their last 10 games in the Premier League, which includes a run of five defeats in their last six fixtures.
That is really disappointing if you’re a Tottenham fan, but there are still a lot of positives to take from this season. Murphy has had his say on one of them.
Danny Murphy picks Destiny Udogie over Micky van de Ven in his Team of the Season
Tottenham signed Destiny Udogie from Udinese in the summer of 2022, but he was sent back to Stadio Friuli for a year on loan.
The Italian returned to North London before the start of the 2023/24 season, and he has been magnificent under Ange Postecoglou.
Udogie became Spurs’ first-choice left-back even though he hadn’t played a single game in the Premier League before the start of this campaign.
There were a few doubts about how he would cope, but the 21-year-old quickly became one of Tottenham’s most important players. Michael Owen said he has never seen another player like him.
Danny Murphy, a former Tottenham midfielder, has been really impressed with Udogie this season, so much so that the Italian is the only Spurs player in his Team of the Season.
He said on talkSPORT: “Left-back, I think Udogie for me, young lad brought in, first season in the Premier League at Tottenham.
“I know he’s been injured the last few weeks but overall his season has been terrific. Been a breath of fresh air, powerful, adventurous, skilful, can defend as well, quick.”
Murphy picked William Saliba and Virgil van Dijk over Micky van de Ven in his side, but he still praised the Tottenham defender.
He said: “The two centre-halves, I thought the only one who came to mind who I think deserves a mention but didn’t get in was [Micky] Van de Ven, another one at Tottenham, first season has been good.”
