Wishlist Jan Vertonghen

Number 4 from Ado that easily lose out to Vertonghen is Kenneth Omeruo..

Benfica is the next club that's rumoured to be interested..

Don't think that we are still watching him, but Vertonghen has been voted best player in Dutch league.

Tottenham has been linked with the Belgian several times last weeks. Ajax Coach Frank De Boer thinks that he need to go to Barcelona, and that he would have no problem in adapting to a higher level..

"Tottenham are absolutely my favourite," Vertonghen told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. "[but] the Ajax board are asking for a very big amount for a player whose contract is running out in year.

"I trust that both Tottenham and Ajax will put some water in the wine and they will soon reach an agreement."

Vertonghen hoped his departure would not become so drawn out that it affected his reputation with the Ajax supporters.

The 25-year-old referenced goalkeeper Maarten Stekeleburg's move to Roma, which was not completed until August, as an example of how he hoped his departure would not be handled.

"I owe much to Ajax, but I've always given my whole heart and soul to the club," Vertonghen continued.

"My appreciation for the club and the fans is great. It would be terrible if my farewell is marred or distorted because Ajax [are stubborn] with the asking price.

"Of course I want Ajax to gain financially, but the amount that Tottenham want to pay, I think - perhaps with a little extra – is very reasonable.

What a wanker!

One minute I hear he's going to Arsenal and the next he's heading to Spurs!

[Superblue 6,372]

Good player particularly for the low price due to his contract situation, and i would prefer to see him move abroad rather than an english rival.

However agree with the general consensus in that we have more pressing areas to strengthen. I'm also happy with Cahill for £7m anyway - struggle to find much better value than that!

Eden Hazard

Samir Nasri

Marcello

Meh, doesn't seem to be anything special.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Reports say that Man U joins the race..

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Think we should go for him despite not really needing another defender, he can also play defensive midfield and left back I've heard... plus another Belgian why the hell not give us a better chance of landing Hazard if we were to go for him wouldn't it

[Hamilton 2,120]

Again some reports that he's on of three candidates for Barcelona. They are also looking at Thiago Silva and Javi Martinez..

[Hamilton 2,120]

It looked long time he was moving to Tottenham, but Ajax wants the 15% that Vertonghen gets from the sale back. He's not willing to do this.

Vertonghen hopes that everything will go ahead, but he has no problem with staying for his last year contract at Ajax. He would cost Tottenham 11,5M €uros and another 3,5M depending on appearences etc..

Why is he so desperate to go to Spurs anyway?

It's the best he can hope for. Not good enough for a TOP club.

I think he is more than good enough for a lot of top clubs.
