Tottenham defender Vertonghen welcomes Norwich Cup tie

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has welcomed their Capital One Cup draw with Norwich City.

Spurs set up the tie after victory at Carlisle United.

Vertonghen told the London Evening Standard: "You would rather play at home in a cup competition but Norwich are a team we can beat. Chelsea and Manchester United are playing each other, Manchester City are out, Everton are out, so a few teams have gone and there are possibilities for us.

"I've had a good start here but adapting quickly was what I hoped for. I'm not 19, where I can wait for two or three years. I'm 25, I want to play well now and so far it's happening. I've got my first goal and that's a good start."
