Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has praised Spurs duo Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven.

Ange Postecoglou has told Football.London that 20-year-old left-back Destiny Udogie and 22-year-old central defender Micky van de Ven have taken their chances for Tottenham Hotspur.

Udogie has made four appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season.

The Italy Under-21 international left-back has given two assists in those games.

Van de Ven has made four appearances in the Premier League and has played once in the Carabao Cup for Spurs so far this campaign.

Postecoglou said: “He’s been great. We started off the season with Destiny playing his first Premier League game.

“Micky van de Ven had had two training sessions, playing his first Premier League game, Vicario playing his first Premier League game. All starting in a back four, back five, but within that context, you give guys the platform, opportunity and hopefully belief that we’ll support them, and you get these outcomes, but it’s still a challenge to do that.”

The Tottenham boss added: “We spoke about it as a coaching staff, for that first team selection, it could have been easier to go safer. Absolutely, but we needed to change and we needed to challenge things.

“Guys like Destiny and Micky and these players who have not just gone in there and found their feet, they’ve gone in there and tried to smash it. That’s what I want.””

Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven potential stars for Tottenham Hotspur

The way Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven are playing for Tottenham Hotspur at the moment is hugely promising.

It is clear that the two young players have huge potential.

Of course, it is still early days, but the signs are very encouraging indeed.

We believe that Tottenham fans should be optimistic and confident about  Udogie and Van de Ven doing well for the club on a consistent basis in the coming years.

Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
