Tottenham defender Vertonghen ready to pen new terms

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen is set to sign new terms.

The 27-year-old Belgium international, who has four years remaining on his current deal, has held preliminary discussions via his representative and hopes to put pen to paper as soon as possible.

Vertonghen's agent, Mustapha Nakhli, told Sky Sports: "We have spoken to Daniel Levy about a new contract for Jan and the negotiations were very good - we hope to sort everything out very soon.

"He is happy at Tottenham and wants to play for the club. He wants to play Champions League with Tottenham and he has a very good feeling about the new manager.

"Last year they made many changes and brought in many new players and it was not so good, but this season it is possible for Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League."
