Micky van de Ven has lifted the lead on the reason why he chose to wear the No 37 after signing for Tottenham in 2023.
The Dutch defender has quickly become a fan favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having signed for Ange Postecoglou's side for £43million last summer from Wolfsburg.
The Dutch speedster has become a mainstay in the Tottenham side when fit alongside Cristian Romero, although he missed 10 games earlier this term with a hamstring injury.
While most centre backs traditionally wear a No 4, No 5 or No 6 shirt, Van de Ven's decision to wear No 37 raised a few eyebrows on his arrival.
