Ajax centre-back Jan Vertonghen has announced a move to Spurs could be completed soon.

The 25 year-old is Spurs’ priority target for defence next season and he has made it clear that moving to White Hart Lane was his preference, amid speculation linking him with London rivals Arsenal.

However, the Dutchman insists he could join Tottenham within the next few days.

“I am a big fan of the Premier League. It is almost the only competition I watch on TV and for me it is the best competition in the world. I would like to play in the Premier League,” he admitted ahead of Belgium's friendly match with England.

“I am not in contact every day but I think it could be very close now, maybe a couple of weeks or maybe days. I probably know which team I will be going to, yes. I know where I want to go and I think it is clear to everybody. Is it Tottenham? Yes.”

Vertonghen also hailed his likely future manager Harry Redknapp and claimed he has no problem with Tottenham having failed to qualify for the Champions League next season after Chelsea swooped the European crown in May.
