Ajax chief admits Vertonghen exit likely

Ajax chief admits Vertonghen exit likely

09 April 2012 - 07:40

Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen looks set to quit the Dutch side for a move to a bigger league, as the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham remain interested in the Belgium international centre back.

  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts
  • Chelsea suffer double injury blow ahead of Villa trip

  • Vertonghen has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and it looks likely that a move will be completed this summer.



    "When there's a club that he's already interested in - and it's really got to be a good club - then he will leave. It's 100 per cent sure," manager Frank de Boer said.



    "I think he's ready to make a next step. For us, it's a setback, of course, to miss that kind of quality player."
