Van de Ven, 22, scored his second goal for Spurs during their 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. He still has a long way to go to surpass the fame of his father, Marcel van de Ven, a TV star known for his role as a lead detective on the Dutch version of Hunted. The show follows Marcel and his team as they track down contestants on the run. Marcel’s popularity on the show led to the publication of his bestselling autobiography.
Van de Ven acknowledges his father’s influence on his career as a professional footballer, crediting him for his support during difficult times. In February, Van de Ven made headlines for his impressive speed, clocking in at 37.38kph, faster than even Manchester City’s Kyle Walker. Last summer, he made a lucrative £50million move from Germany to north London. Additionally, fans can watch major boxing, UFC, and WWE events, as well as exclusive MLB content for £29.99 per month in addition to an £8.99 per month Amazon Prime subscription.
