Micky van de Ven has dubbed James Maddison the best player he has ever played with, revealing that the offensive midfielder astounded him when he came at the club in the summer.
Maddison had previously demonstrated at Leicester City that he is among the greatest creative players in the Premier League, but the 26-year-old appears to have stepped up his game since joining Spurs.
The England international has made Ange Postecoglou‘s side tick forward, not just posing a threat in the final third but also dropping deep to assist the squad in moving the ball up the ground.
Last Sunday, Maddison shown that he thrives under pressure, as he was one of the greatest players on the pitch in his first North London Derby, setting up both of Son Heung-min’s goals.
Micky Van de Ven lavishes praise on Maddison.
Van de Ven has stated that the midfielder has blown him away since joining the club.
When asked who the finest player he has played with on Tottenham‘s official channel, the centre-back said, “For me, Madders.” He was excellent when I arrived. When you see him play, he is pure class.”
Van de Ven had the same response in an interview with the Premier League’s official channel.
When asked who has most impressed him at Tottenham, the 22-year-old replied, “Maddison.” He has so much talent. You can see it on the pitch.
“To be honest, every player impressed me.” When I arrived, everyone’s level was really high. ‘Wow,’ you think. The Premier League is the pinnacle.”
While I knew Maddison was a terrific technician, I had no idea how outstanding a player he was until he joined the club in the summer.
He possesses outstanding feet, which makes him fairly press-resistant despite his lack of speed or athleticism. He also has a strong belief in his own abilities and is not hesitant to grab games by the scruff of the neck.
