Dietmar Hamann gave his verdict on Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies while watching him in action against Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.

So, what has Dietmar Hamann said about Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies? Let’s take a look.

Dietmar Hamann praises Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies vs Newcastle United

Well, Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United 4-1. It was an easy win for Spurs in the end.

Son Heung-min scored one goal and gave two assists for Spurs. Brazilian forward Richarlison found the back of the net twice in the Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Ben Davies also played well for Spurs. The Wales international started in central defence alongside Cristian Romero in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

There was a really outstanding moment from Davies in the first half. In the ninth minute, the 30-year-old made a last-second sliding clearance to stop Alexander Isak from scoring.

As you can see, Dietmar Hamann was impressed. The former Newcastle United defensive midfielder believes that it was world class from the 30-year-old.

Davies has made six starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season.

The Welsh defender scored two goals and provided two assists in 26 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League and made four starts and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Spurs last season.

Tottenham fans should be excited

In my view, Tottenham Hotspur fans should be excited about the season ahead.

I believe that Spurs are very much in the running for a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season.

Yes, recent results before the win against Newcastle United were not great, but they have been playing well and are a joy to watch.

I do not think that Tottenham are good enough to challenge for the Premier League, but they can certainly end up in the UEFA Champions League places.
