Tottenham fans on Twitter were impressed by the display of reported transfer target Joel Veltman in Ajax’s Europa League final defeat against Manchester United on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old started the match at the Friends Arena and played the full 90 minutes in the right-back spot as Ajax fell to a 2-0 defeat with goals coming from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan on either side of half time.

The performance of the Ajax star caught a lot of interest from Tottenham fans watching the match with the 14-time capped Holland international linked with a move to north London.

The Dutchman even recently admitted that his wife would jump at a chance to move to England’s capital city.

Now, it is thought that Tottenham fans on social media hope he follows his wife’s advice, as many commented that they were excited by what they saw from Veltman despite him playing for the losing side.

One fan stated that the defender looked “cool, calm and collected,” while another said “he’s been very good.”

Here are a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Veltman joined Ajax in 2001 at the age of just nine before breaking through the youth ranks 11 years later with his debut coming in August 2012.

He has gone on to play in 121 matches for the Dutch giants and can also play as a centre-back.
