A solid season from the Belgium international has earned special praise from his coach and a new contract offer is expected to follow
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes Jan Vertonghen is one of the best defenders in Europe, comparing the Belgian to his new dog.
Vertonghen has enjoyed a fine campaign for Spurs, making 35 appearances in all competitions to help his side into fifth in the Premier League and the last 16 in the Champions League.
Pochettino is happy to see the Belgium international, who he said deserved a new contract before his current deal expires in 2019, getting credit.
