Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen declares himself 'ready' for Arsenal showdown following ankle injury

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has declared himself fit for Saturday's Premier League match against north London rivals Arsenal.

The 30-year-old has been struggling with a minor ankle injury sustained earlier this month and was left out of Belgium's 3-3 draw against Mexico in Brussels last Friday.

However, he came through the national side's 1-0 victory over Japan unscathed on Tuesday and is keen to return to the Spurs starting lineup this weekend.
