Jan Vertonghen 'set to leave Spurs this summer'

Jan Vertonghen is reportedly set to leave Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer this summer, with the defender yet to sign a new contract at the North London club.

The centre-back arrived at Spurs from Ajax in 2012 and has now made 306 appearances for the club.

According to the Daily Mail, the 32-year-old is unhappy playing under Jose Mourinho and is expected to leave this summer.

Vertonghen is currently free to negotiate a move to any foreign club on a free transfer when his deal expires at the end of this season.

The Belgium international was replaced on 55 minutes during Spurs' 3-2 FA Cup fourth-round replay win over Southampton on Wednesday night.

With the emergence of Japhet Tanganga and the form of Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld, Vertonghen is no longer the first name on the teamsheet at Spurs.
