*data correct up to the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup 2026

The Netherlands boast an extremely impressive defence with some of the best depth of quality at FIFA World Cup 2026. One of their key defenders is Micky van de Ven but he could be even more important than many for Oranje this summer, with his ability to get forward. In the build-up to the tournament, it appears that Van de Ven will slot in at left-back for Ronald Koeman’s side and the Tottenham Hotspur defender has shown his impressive ability to carry the ball forward and he should be crucial for the Dutch this summer.
