Tottenham defensive duo are stalwarts for the Premier League side.
Ajax are beginning to hope they may be able to re-sign Tottenham Hotspur duo Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, claim Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad.
Both players left Ajax to make the next step in their careers and have become Premier League regulars for Tottenham.
Ajax have reached the Champions League quarter-finals, a feat which has been helped by adding experienced stars Daley Blind and Dusan Tadic to their youthful and talented team.
The Dutch side realise they are up against it to land the pair, but what seemed impossible, now has them hoping.
Tottenham’s record move is a transfer in the other direction, signing Davinson Sanchez from Ajax in 2017.
Ajax director of football Marc Overmars last week signed a new contract with the club until 2024, BBC Sport reported.
Alderweireld’s contract expires in 2020, but there is a clause for clubs to sign him for £26 million this summer.
This could be beyond Ajax, and leave him penning a long-term deal elsewhere.
Vertonghen’s deal at Tottenham also expires in 2020.
