Jan Vertonghen is an important player for Tottenham Hotspur.
The 31-year-old Belgium international defender is out of contract at Tottenham in 2019, with Spurs having options to extend it by a further year, according to the report.
The report has also claimed that Vertonghen favours a contract extension longer than 12 months.
Need to stay
Vertonghen is one of the best defenders in the Premier League and is a key figure in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
True, the Belgian is in his 30s now, but the former Ajax star is still going as strong as ever and is top of his game.
It would make sense for Tottenham to hand a long-term contract to Vertonghen, whose leadership skills at the back and reading of the game remain vital for the North London outfit.
Tottenham are very much in the Premier League title race, and they still have a chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
