Micky van de Ven has labelled Destiny Udogie a ‘baller’ after Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Burnley yesterday.
Van de Ven took to Instagram after Saturday’s 5-2 win at Turf Moor and heaped praise in the Spurs youngster.
Tottenham put in a five-star display at Burnley as Son Heung-min stole the show with a brilliant hat-trick.
James Maddison and Cristian Romero were also on target as both players netted with exceptional long-range efforts.
While there were encouraging displays all over the pitch for Tottenham, Destiny Udogie was quietly brilliant once again.
The 20-year-old set up Maddison for Spurs’ third of the afternoon and put in yet another solid influential performance from left-back And his partner on the left-hand side of Tottenham’s backline was certainly impressed with his display.
Van de Ven sends message to Udogie
Udogie took to social media after yesterday’s win at Turf Moor to express his delight at picking up another three points.
He wrote: “Another great performance from the team!! Let’s go all together with more hunger.”
And Van de Ven responded beneath the post: “Baller.”
Udogie has enjoyed a really promising start to life in North London and has already registered two assists in four appearances.
The Italian spent last season on loan at Udinese after being snapped up by Spurs from the Serie A outfit last summer.
He mainly operated as a wing-back during his time in Italy but he has adjusted to playing in a back four with ease. The youngster even looks comfortable in the middle of the park, with Ange Postecoglou preferring his full-backs to invert during games.
The Spurs News View
Udogie has been exceptional so far this season and has been a real breath of fresh air at left-back.
He seems to be perfectly suited to Postecoglou’s demands and his composure on the ball has been a real asset for Spurs.
His start to life at Tottenham is even more exciting when you consider he’s just 20 years of age and we seem to have picked up a real star here.
