Former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega has announced that he may run for the presidential position at FIFA.

Vega played for Spurs for five years and, despite working in finance after his time in football, has announced that he may put himself forward as a candidate to replace Sepp Blatter.

Vega told The Guardian: "The last few years I've been really distanced. I'm still in the finance world, advising lots of European clubs from a financial point of view, balance sheets, restructuring."

The recent news of Blatter's long-supposed replacement Michel Platini being suspended over corruption allegations has caused Vega to consider standing for the position himself.

Vega added: "You need a nuclear scenario, a clean break from the past.

"The block that has been happening through the Platini scenario has not allowed a debate to develop. He needs to stand back, put his hands up and concentrate on retaining the UEFA job.

"At the moment the governing body of UEFA has the potential to put forward a good candidate and it is being blocked through loyalty to Platini.

"There is nothing wrong with loyalty but it has to go hand-in-hand with common sense."
