‘Go & win some trophies’ – Some Spurs fans react as EPL rival looks to sign star
Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen is reportedly wanted at Manchester City this summer. The 33-year-old is set to leave North London at the end of the campaign after him and the club couldn’t agree to terms of a new deal, and the Etihad Stadium outfit have him on their radar. City failed to replace Vincent Kompany last summer, and that played a huge role in their failure to mount a successful title defence. Vertonghen wouldn’t make a huge impact at the club like his countryman did, but he is a quality and experienced cover at both centre-back and left-back. The Belgium international has been at Tottenham since the summer of 2012, featuring in over 300 games across all competitions, but he is yet to win any silverware in England. That is guaranteed at Man. City given the quality of t...

Given the fact that Spurs have Ndombele and Sissoko at their disposal, Hojbjerg would perhaps be ...
‘Atrocious’, ‘Terrible’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after his display against Spurs

He could be a threat in the opposition box along with his defensive abilities. The playe...
