Ledley King reveals what he thinks of Micky van de Ven as Tottenham captain

Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King has offered advice to Micky van de Ven following the Dutchman's appointment as club captain. Speaking to Football.London, King endorsed manager Roberto De Zerbi's decision to hand Van de Ven the armband following Cristian Romero's summer departure. King noted that while the 25-year-old defender leads by example, his next step is to manage the squad and become more vocal.

Reflecting on his own seven-year stint as Spurs captain, King emphasized that Van de Ven must remain true to himself rather than changing his persona. He warned that teammates see through artificial behavior, advising the defender to pair authenticity with added authority while elevating those around him.
