Vertonghen had been linked with a move away from Tottenham during the transfer window, with Barcelona chasing him down all summer. But after staying put and signing a new contract with the Premier League club, reports in Belgium have now claimed that he has also been given the captain’s duty by Spurs.

The club have organised an announcnement on Monday, in which they have promised to reveal the new captain, and it is understood that the 27-year-old will beat both Younes Kaboul and Hugo Lloris to the captaincy role.

The stay of the Belgium international will come as good news for Spurs, who have had to undergo a difficult few weeks with the club struggling to sort out a new stadium amid reports that they are for sale.
