‘Door is still open’ for new Vertonghen contract at Spurs despite defender edging towards free agency

The “door is still open” for Jan Vertonghen to follow the lead of Toby Alderweireld and commit to a new contract at Tottenham, says the defender’s agent.

As things stand, the 32-year-old will hit free agency in the summer when his current deal expires.

Spurs had been hoping to have fresh terms in place by now, with the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager having convinced another Belgium international to put pen to paper.
