Vertonghen no closer to Tottenham extension

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has not come any closer to signing a new deal with the club.

The veteran center back is out of contract at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old played his first game of the season in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the weekend.

But he does not know where his long term future lies.

Speaking about the contract, Vertonghen told reporters: "No. I just want to focus on football now.

"When you don't play, you realise how important it is and it's extremely important for me. I've been so long with the guys, I love the club and I just want to play as much as I can.

"I feel great and I just want to help the club to win trophies."
