The Vertonghen-Ajax Flirting Continues

By Joe Fish -

A Jan Vertonghen return to Ajax this summer has a nice feel to it.

The 32-year-old defender is out of contract at Tottenham and has been tipped to return to the club from whom he joined Spurs in 2012.

Ajax manager Eric Ten Hag even admitted to Ziggo Sport last month that the Eredivisie champions “were following his situation very closely”.

And Vertonghen has now responded to those advances with a flirt of his own, admitting going back to Amsterdam has always been on his mind.

“Who knows. It’s always been sort of in the planning, yes,” he told OpVier, according to Football Oranje.

As sad as it would be to see the Belgian go, the time feels right. We can’t offer him a new contract based on his performances this season, which are a far cry from his Player of the Year form from less than two years ago.

Vertonghen has lost his legs but not his technique, so a couple of years winding down in the home comforts of the Dutch league would be a idyllic finale for him. And seemingly Super Jan thinks the same.
