Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven is as good as Arsenal centre-back William Saliba.
Redknapp also expressed his belief that van de Ven, who was on the scoresheet in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest, can emulate Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk.
Van de Ven has enjoyed a hugely impressive first season at Tottenham since his move from Wolfsburg last summer and has returned to produce some excellent performances after struggling with a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign.
Former Tottenham player Redknapp has been hugely impressed by van de Ven's progress and claimed that the 22-year-old is a better player than his compatriot van Dijk was at his age.
