One Spurs star makes Danny Murphy’s Team of the Season – Not Van de Ven
Danny Murphy has named Destiny Udogie in his Premier League Team of the Season and admitted that Micky van de Ven just missed out on his eleven.
While a number of Tottenham players started the season well, many have had a loss in form over the last few months as Spurs are stumbling over the finish line, having failed to qualify for the Champions League.
However, there is no doubt that several newcomers, including the likes of Udogie, Van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario have had terrific debut seasons in the Premier League and Spurs fans will be excited to see how they develop.
Udogie, in particular, looked made for English football from the second he stepped foot on the pitch, showing a tremendous engine, defensive composure and the technical quality to carry the ball into dangerous areas.
Destiny Udogie makes Premier League Team of the Season
Even though the Italy international missed the final few games of the campaign due to injury, Muphy named him in his Team of the Season.
The former Liverpool and Spurs midfielder told talkSPORT: “Left-back, I think Udogie for me, young lad brought in, first season in the Premier League at Tottenham.
“I know he’s been injured the last few weeks but overall his season has been terrific. Been a breath of fresh air, powerful, adventurous, skilful, can defend as well, quick.”
Murphy went with William Saliba and Virgil van Dijk as his two centre-backs but he gave Van de Ven an honourable mention.
He added: “The two centre-halves, I thought the only one who came to mind who I think deserves a mention but didn’t get in was [Micky] Van de Ven, another one at Tottenham, first season has been good.”

While it is great to see Van de Ven getting so much praise, which is undoubtedly deserved after a brilliant first season in the Premier League, I feel Romero has had an even better season than his centre-back partner.
Unfortunately, many pundits have a preconceived notion of Romero as being a loose cannon, which means that the Argentine does not get the respect he deserves.
