  • Micky Van de Ven: Spurs’ Season So Far, Ange vs Frank & Toughest Opponents | The Overlap Exclusive
    Dec 16 2025

    On this Overlap Exclusive, brought to you by Sky Bet, we sit down with Micky van de Ven for an open conversation about his journey in football and life at Tottenham Hotspur.


    Van de Ven looks back at where it all began, breaking into the game before earning a move to Wolfsburg, where his performances in the Bundesliga put him on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs.


    He then reflects on his move to Tottenham, joining under Ange Postecoglou and being part of a side that went on to lift the Europa League. Micky opens up on what that period meant to him, how he felt when Ange was dismissed, and how the squad responded to change.


    The conversation turns to the present day, as he discusses life under Thomas Frank, the challenges of the current season and what the manager has brought to the group.


    Finally, Micky looks ahead to the future, sharing his ambitions with the Netherlands as the countdown begins towards the World Cup next year.
