A move for Ajax centre-back Jan Vertonghen has been agreed with Tottenham Hotspur, and the Ajax captain is now just a medical and signature away from officially being a Tottenham Hotspur footballer. The on-again off-again race to sign Vertonghen, who was Ajax captain, appears to be over, which is wonderful news for Tottenham supporters given the recent signing of Gylfi Sigurddson from Hoffenheim as well as new manager Andre Villas-Boas at the helm.
Meanwhile, over at Arsenal, they look set to lose their star striker and there hasn’t been much talk of new players being added now that Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud have signed.
