Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 85, top 9% of the 34 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 25 Ven is in his prime years, and a market index of 101.8 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Tottenham finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 84.8, Ven carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tottenham finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
