Why Micky Van de Ven may no longer be Tottenham’s fastest player

Spurs’ Micky van de Ven has surged up the club’s fastest‑player rankings following the Everton clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur have several players this season who have already shown they are capable of hitting really high top speeds.

Just last week, Spurs Web revealed that new signing Savio was the fastest player at the club, with the wide forward clocking a top speed of 34.1 km/h.

Coming in second was Omar Marmoush, who was not far behind Savio – the Egyptian forward has already hit 34.3 km/h this season.

Tottenham have a new fastest player in Savio

However, there has been a change on the list of the fastest players for Tottenham this season, with a few more players emerging in the top ten following Tottenham’s last outing against Everton.

Last time we reported that Micky van de Ven was not in the top ten fastest players for Tottenham, but the Dutchman has surged up that list.

Van de Ven is now in the top seven fastest players at Spurs, with the defender clocking a top speed of 33.1 km/h. That is about two kilometres per hour more than the 31.8 km/h the centre-back managed before the game against Everton.

Spurs must make better use of their pace

Tottenham must now take advantage of the pace they have in their squad, especially in attack this season.

Spurs remain without a win or a goal, and that is not good enough from Roberto De Zerbi’s side given the amount spent in the summer.

The attack at Tottenham is at times too slow, with players often taking too many touches instead of being direct.

They have to look for more balls in behind and stretch opposition defences if they are to take advantage of the pace in their attacking line.
