Jan Vertonghen: 'I am a perfect fit for Tottenham Hotspur'

Jan Vertonghen believes that Ajax's football philosophy will help him be a success at Tottenham Hotspur.

Jan Vertonghen has claimed that his experience at Ajax will help him be a success at Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Spurs announced the signing of Vertonghen last week and the Belgian defender believes that there are plenty of similarities between his old club and his new employers.

The 25-year-old told the Evening Standard: "It is a perfect fit for me and, of course, that will help me settle in.

"It is all about ball possession and pressure so that is quite similar to the way Ajax want you to play.

"I was 16 when I went to Ajax and the youth team played exactly like the first team so that really helped me when I started in the first team. The same thing will help me when I start playing here."

Vertonghen made 220 appearances for Ajax.
