‘He loves him’… Ange Postecoglou is actually a huge fan of £10m Tottenham player
Ange Postecoglou is allegedly a great fan of Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies, according to Alasdair Gold.
During an interview with the Football.London podcast, the journalist talked about Ben Davies’s recent performance for the team.
After Micky van de Ven was hurt, the Welshman entered Ange Postecoglou’s starting lineup in recent weeks.Davies has been playing well lately, and it is anticipated that the Dutchman won’t be back until the new year.
Since Van van Ven’s injury last month, the 30-year-old has shared the field with Eric Dier, Cristian Romero, and Emerson Royal.
As a stand-in center back, Davies has done a respectable job, and in the upcoming days, he’ll be trying to establish a rapport with Romero. And it seems that Postecoglou is a huge fan of the dependable Davies.

Gold asserted in his most recent podcast episode that Postecoglou “loves” Davies as a player.
The reporter stated, “I thought Ben Davies played very well again. Postecoglou loves Ben Davies, and he definitely looks so much more comfortable alongside a natural center-back.”
Even after the game, he was discussing how this season, he basically had to convert Ben Davies into a center back. As Ben Davies mentioned, he has performed in the role with a variety of actors. He has just sort of walked in, made his way around, and completed the tasks at hand.
“He’s never had a committed partner; he’s played briefly with Dier, Emerson, Van de Ven, and obviously Romero back now.
“We’ll have to wait and see what happens with Van de Ven; if he stays on course, he might return in mid- to late-January. As for Romero and Davies, if Romero doesn’t receive another red card—he’s currently on four—or this fifth yellow card, then they might develop a small friendship.
Over the past few years, Davies has caused controversy among Tottenham fans. Some feel he should have moved on a long time ago.
But the £10 million player has shown himself to be a dependable performer under a number of managers, and having him in the team is really helpful.
While he’s rarely a standout performer, the Welsh international has barely put a foot wrong since coming back into the side this season.
There’s no doubt that losing Van de Ven was a huge blow for Spurs. But after the return of Romero, Tottenham could have a settled centre-back pairing until the Dutchman returns.
