After eight years of good service to Tottenham Hotspur, the end has come for Jan Vertonghen in North London.
This is because a new report from the Express claims that the Belgian will be a free agent in the summer after Jose Mourinho called off talks of a new deal for the former Ajax man.
For the majority of his time at Tottenham, Vertonghen was an undisputed starter, and he helped the club to reach the Champions League final last season.
After allowing his contract to run into its final year, the defender will now leave Mourinho’s side as one of the most valuable free agents available for other teams in the summer.
Although Spurs didn’t win a trophy with him on their team, he played over 300 games for the Lilywhites.
He played at least 33 games for the club in all competitions every season that he spent with Spurs apart from this campaign where he has played just 26 times so far.
After spending 12 million Euros to acquire his services from Ajax, he deserves nothing but respect and praise from Spurs’ fans for the dedication he showed for the team during his time with us and I can only wish him the best of luck on his next move.
Take the money and run (a bit slower now) SuperJan. Your ManU goal was a great highlight, one among many.
Like Dembele probably wont get the fond farewell he deserves.
Stylish and effective at his best, will have little trouble getting a two year deal on better money, so the best of luck to him. I know he is doing his coaching badges and his International manager Roberto Martinez has said he expects him to go into coaching, so maybe he could return one day and win as a manager.
