​Vertonghen coy on Tottenham plans as free agency looms

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen is coy regarding his future at the club.

The Belgian centre-back has been a stalwart for the club in the past few seasons.

But with his contract running out at the end of the campaign, there is no sign of him renewing.

And the 32-year-old is coy on his future.

"I'd prefer not to go into that, but there is always movement there, of course," Vertonghen said when quizzed about his future by reporters.

"It's my eighth season and I'm feeling great. Maybe the results didn't come our way [at the start of the season], but they were tough away games and you always have to see how you bounce back from that.

"[My future is] not a distraction. I'm very aware of my age. I feel fairly young. It doesn't distract me. I want to play as many games as possible. I'm very ambitious and I feel I've got a few good years left at the top level."
