Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has flown to Holland to try to complete a deal for Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen.
The Belgian, who has openly admitted his desire to leave the Dutch champions this summer, has interested a number of clubs but Spurs now seem to be in pole position for his signature.
He has apparently agreed personal terms ahead of a move to White Hart Lane, but the two clubs are still negotiating over the transfer fee.
Vertonghen is valued at around £13m by his current employers, but Levy, who was photographed at the Amsterdam ArenA earlier today, is reportedly only willing to pay £10m for the defender.
Spurs' North London rivals Arsenal and AC Milan are also thought to be admirers of the 25-year-old.
