Ajax coach Erik ten Hag has confirmed interest in Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen.

The 32 year-old former Ajax stopper's contract with Spurs expires in June.

Ten Hag told Ziggo Sport: “Jan is a player with a past at Ajax. He knows the philosophy of the club. Of course we are following his situation emphatically.

“But you also have to look at the position in which someone can play. If that comes together, the availability and the position in which someone plays, then he is an option.

“There is no question of any age limit here.

"If someone is good enough, it doesn't matter how old he is."
