Tottenham Hotspur have won the Europa League, and a number of key doors have been opened heading into next season.
Indeed, a Europa League win brings with it qualification for the Champions League, and, in turn, that brings huge financial benefits.
With the summer transfer window on the horizon, a boost to the bank balance is great news for Tottenham.
Spurs have been linked with a few exciting players ahead of the summer.
Angel Gomes has been linked to Tottenham, while Spurs are also keen on Rayan Cherki.
Justin Kluivert has been linked to Tottenham recently, and speaking on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, the Bournemouth attacker has made a claim that may interest Spurs fans.
Justin Kluivert is friends with Micky van de Ven
Kluivert was asked to name who he believes are the 10 fastest players in the Premier League.
Micky van de Ven is the fastest player in the Premier League, and Kluivert picked him as his number one.
Interestingly, Kluivert also noted that he’s good friends with Van de Ven, picking him as the quickest player in the division.
“He’s a good friend of mine, and I’ll put him for sure at number one,” Kluivert said.
Justin Kluivert’s record alongside Micky van de Ven
Justin Kluivert says he’s good friends with Micky van de Ven, and of course, both players know one another well from their Dutch connection.
Both players are similar ages, and coming through in the Netherlands, they will have played against each other on numerous occasions.
On top of that, Kluivert and Van de Ven are international teammates too.
However, they’ve never actually shared the pitch together, but they have been in the same squad on two occasions.

The Netherlands are yet to win a single game in which Van de Ven and Kluivert are in the same squad, and that perhaps doesn’t bode too well for Spurs and their potential transfer plans.
Kluivert is a target for Tottenham, and he may well find it easy to settle in at Spurs if he arrives due to his close friendship with Van de Ven.
