Known for his tough-tackling, leadership, and defensive prowess, the Argentine international has been a fan favorite and a key contributor to Tottenham\u2019s defensive solidity. Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven, the Dutch center-back who joined Spurs in 2023, has quickly earned recognition for his pace, composure on the ball, and ability to read the game.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The departures of both players will leave a significant gap in Tottenham\u2019s defensive unit, prompting questions about how manager Ange Postecoglou will address the situation in the winter transfer window.
