Agent: Vertonghen deal close

The agent of Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen is hopeful a deal can be struck with Tottenham Hotspur that will see the defender move to White Hart Lane.

The Belgium international has been linked with a move to the North London giants for several weeks and has made no secret of his desire to move to England.

However, a contractual agreement with the Eredivisie side has seen the deal stall, with some speculating the move may fall through.

But the player’s agent, Mustapha Nakhli, hopes a solution can be negotiated that will see the 25-year-old complete his transfer to Spurs.

He told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "We have a meeting with Ajax at the end of this morning to come to a solution.

"There is some movement and we have the intention to come to an agreement."
