Crouch is impressed by the instant impact the Dutchman has had at White Hart Lane, after joining the club from Real Madrid in a £8million deal.
Crouch said: “It’s fantastic playing with him.
“He’s a top-class player and playing with someone like that seems to make my job easier.
“In training we’ve struck up quite a good partnership.
“Obviously he’s reading the flick-ons and balls and he got a couple of goals against Villa.
“The fans love him here already.”
