Vertonghen seals Tottenham move

Jan Vertonghen has successfully passed his medical and completed his move from Ajax to Tottenham.



The Belgian defender has been the subject of a protracted transfer saga, as he had been targeted by Spurs during the tenure of Harry Redknapp.



A wrangle over a transfer percentage between Vertonghen and Ajax threatened to derail the deal, while further doubt was cast when Redknapp was axed and replaced by Andre Villas-Boas.



Villas-Boas did not block the transfer and at the weekend it was announced the deal had been agreed. This allowed Vertonghen to travel to London for a medical, which he completed without alarm.



Vertonghen put his name to a Tottenham contract and he joins Gylfi Sugurdsson in making the move to White Hart Lane.
