New Tottenham signing Micky van de Ven has explained why he is so excited to play for the club.

The centre back has arrived from Wolfsburg for up to 43 million, showcasing Spurs' faith in him.

Van de Ven believes that he is ideally suited to playing in the attacking style of manager Ange Postecoglou.

"I was at the game [against Shakhtar] and the way the players were playing for the new manager, I really loved it," he told SPURSPLAY.

"It's offensive football and exactly what I want.

"It was unbelievable at the game, goosebumps everywhere. Every time the fans started shouting 'Come on you Spurs' when they scored, it was incredible."

He added: "I am a center-back, I'm tall and have some speed so I can play with a high line. I am quite calm on the ball and hopefully I can help the team."
