Belgium international defender Jan Vertonghen has sensationally revealed that Tottenham will need to make a better offer for his services, otherwise he may make a move to North London rivals Arsenal.
The centre back has told his agent to find him a club in the Premier League this summer, but Tottenham's failure to qualify for the Champions League could cost them dearly in their pursuit of the defender.<br />
“I’ve said repeatedly that Tottenham are my first choice, but the talks haven’t progressed,” said the defender.<br />
“They have shown me around, I have met all their key people and their chairman came to meet me on Monday. But Arsenal want me too. They remain a possibility if my Spurs move falls through, as Ajax are asking €15m for me.<br />
“That is a lot of money for someone with just a year left on his contract.<br />
“I’m sure Spurs won’t be able to pay that much after they missed out on the Champions League.”
