Liverpool are looking to sign Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen report The Metro. With a new contract for the Belgian at Spurs yet to be sorted out, and the saga dragging on since the summer transfer window, clubs will be looking to capitalise in January on the failure to commit the Belgian the football club beyond his current contract.
The tabloid claim that transfer talks are already underway with a deal expected to be completed in January. Reports suggest that Liverpool have spoken to the defender’s agent and are very confident that they can pull the deal off.
Despite the performance against Chelsea last week, Tim Sherwood has said that Vertonghen is a very good player and is very important to Tottenham.
Vertonghen has been linked with other moves away since the summer transfer window including a move to Manchester United. However, this is the closest report we have seen to the Belgian moving away from Spurs.
