Micky Van de Ven says £15m Tottenham player is actually faster than Heung-Min Son

Tottenham have some seriously quick players on their books right now.

The likes of Heung-Min Son, Brennan Johnson, Micky Van de Ven and Pedro Porro are all ridiculously quick.

However, according to Van de Ven himself, none of those are the fastest player at Tottenham.

Indeed, speaking on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, Van de Ven was asked to name who is the fastest player at Spurs now, and he says that Destiny Udogie is the quickest player in the squad at the moment.

Udogie is the fastest

Van de Ven shared his verdict on the £15m left-back

“Who is the fastest player at Tottenham do you think?” Van de Ven was asked

“Udogie,” Van de Ven responded

Lightning

Udogie is absolutely rapid, and we would pay good money to see an inter-squad race between the Spurs players.

Tottenham have assembled one of the fastest teams we’ve seen in the Premier League, and a 100m dash between the squad would make for great viewing.

As for Udogie, his pace certainly helps him get up and down that left flank, and he is certainly one of the quickest full-backs in the Premier League at the moment.

The Italian is far from being just a pace merchant though. He’s also a supremely talented player who has been a massive part of Spurs’ success this season.

At the age of just 21, Udogie has plenty of room to grow and improve as well, and the idea of the young defender getting even better is a frightening prospect.

Tottenham are very lucky to have Udogie in their squad, and at just £15m, he has to go down as one of the great bargains in recent Premier League history.

Van de Ven is no slouch himself, but he reckons that Udogie is even faster than he is.
