Micky van de Ven has revealed which of his teammates is the most skilful player in Tottenham Hotspur’s squad and his answer is a bit of a surprise.
Tottenham Hotspur have several experienced players who are very skilful, like Son Heung-min and James Maddison, however, Van de Ven opted for one of the team’s teenagers.
We’ve not seen a lot of Van de Ven’s pick this season due to injury but the Dutch international claims his Spurs teammate is so tricky to defend in training.
Micky van de Ven names Wilson Odobert as Tottenham’s most skilful player
Micky van de Ven claims that Wilson Odobert is the most skilful player in Tottenham’s squad and he has really proven that in training.
The Frenchman’s time in North London has been ruined by a hamstring injury so far, but since his return, we’ve seen some flashes of brilliance from the teenager.
Odobert, who cost £32m, netted twice against AZ Alkmaar to fire Spurs into the quarter-finals of the Europa League before his brace of assists for France Under-21’s against a strong England youth side.
When asked which player most deserves five-star skills on EAFC 25, Van de Ven told SpursOfficial on Instagram: “Wilson Odobert. Really quick with his feet, in training, one-versus-one you can see it – so I would say he would get the five-star skill moves.”
Meanwhile, Mikey Moore also agreed with the Dutch defender by adding: “Wilson. He’s got the best skills in the team so I would go for him.”
Wilson Odobert shows real promise for France’s Under-21 vs England U21
Odobert’s performance for France’s Under-21s left supporters very impressed as the winger produced two assists in the 5-3 win.
Hugo Ekitike, who will face Tottenham for Frankfurt in the Europa League, scored a hattrick with the 19-year-old setting him up for two goals.
