Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen is edging ever so closer to an exit this summer, and there’s a good chance he rejoins a former teammate if reports are to be believed.
According to Dan Kilpatrick at the Evening Standard, the Belgian centre-back is a potential free transfer target for Serie A side Inter Milan, should he not receive a contract extension.
His current deal is set to expire at the end of the season so the 32-year-old could reunite with Christian Eriksen who joined I Nerazzurri last month in a £17m move.
It has left fans discussing the possibility of Vertonghen ending an eight-year stay in north London.
Here’s what has been said…
There was a clear divide between fans, some were against the idea of the 6 foot 2 stalwart leaving while many were all for it.
“Best for all” was a claim from one member of the Spurs faithful as a further supporter suggested his wife was behind the move.

Vertonghen was also described as a “club legend” and as a “great servant.”
The potential for a reunion with Eriksen has also been on the minds of other fans…
One thought the Danish playmaker was behind the rumour while another cracked a joke at the ‘wife’ situation between the pair.
Further members of the Hotspur fanbase took a swipe at the Italian giants, claiming they were becoming a place for all the Premier League rejects.
