Jan Vertonghen has got the Tottenham Twittersphere talking with this…
Could this be a tease that a new contract announcement is imminent? That would be a major turn up for the books considering that the 32-year-old defender has only started three of our last seven matches in all competitions and is firmly showing the form of a player in decline.
But then again, we were thrown a curveball by his Belgian pal Toby Alderweireld penning extended terms earlier this season, and Jose Mourinho has said that he’d like Vertonghen to say, as The Guardian details.
I hope this isn’t the case, as, while I’ve loved the majority of Jan’s eight years of service, I do feel the summer is the right time for him to move on.
An alternative theory put forward by a couple of fans is that Vertonghen is suggesting that time could be up on the Premier League season because of the Coronavirus outbreak, which is plausible but contradicts current policy and is an odd thing to make the subject of your first tweet in two months.
