Micky van de Ven has provided a clear show of his stance on Tottenham Hotspur’s appointment of Roberto De Zerbi.

The Lilywhites finally confirmed the Italian’s arrival on Tuesday, as they were able to end several days of speculation by convincing him to take on the job immediately.

There had been concerns regarding the 46-year-old’s desire to take the reins in North London before the end of the season, but the club hierarchy have ultimately been able to convince him to pen a long-term contract.

The former Brighton boss is facing immediate urgency to turn around the fortunes at his new club, with the squad having just seven games remaining to protect the club’s Premier League status.

De Zerbi’s appointment at Tottenham will need to provide unity throughout the club, and it has already got the approval of one of its most important figures in Van de Ven.
