Agent: 'Jan Vertonghen to Tottenham still on'

Jan Vertonghen's agent has insisted that his client's proposed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur should still go ahead.

The move had been thrown into doubt following the sacking of manager Harry Redknapp last week.

However, representative Mustapha Nakhli believes that the switch from Ajax to London is "very close".

"Nothing has changed at all. He is coming to Tottenham for the club and not for the manager," Nakhli told PA Sport.

"Managers come and go. Of course Jan is sorry that Harry Redknapp is no longer there but he is going for the club.

"We have a good relationship with Daniel Levy. He wants the deal to happen and there is a good atmosphere [between us]. I don't know when it will happen but the deal is close, very close."

Vertonghen is believed to be costing in the region of £10m.
