Tottenham star Jan Vertonghen provides key contract update ahead of summer transfer window
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has provided fans with a key update on talks over his new contract at Spurs, with the Belgian's current deal expiring at the end of the season, claiming that he still hasn't decided where he wants to play football during the next campaign.
Jan Vertonghen is 'past his best' at Spurs says pundit
Tottenham star Jan Vertonghen has revealed that he's still going through the "pros and cons" of signing a new contract at Spurs. The defender is set to leave north London this summer, if a renewal isn't agreed, which would end his eight-year spell at the club.
Vertonghen has attracted interest from Serie A in recent months, after it became clear that a decision to sign a new deal at Spurs would be going down to the wire.
The Belgian centre-back hasn't played as often this season under Mourinho.
He's been left on the substitute's bench as a replacement for youngster Japhet Tanganga on a number of occasions.
But, with Vertonghen's time at Tottenham yet to officially be over, he has admitted that he's still considering his options.

"I’m in a process right now that I have to grab a piece of paper and write down the pros and cons of the options I will have soon," Vertonghen told Belgian show De Kleedkamer.
"I will really have to decide what I want in my career.
"In three to four years, I will normally return to the place where I will likely settle down.
"I have to start thinking about where I still want to live, what language I want to learn, what culture I still want to live in.

"And also very importantly, which competitions and prizes I still want to win.
"I don’t want to regret anything in my career."
Vertonghen had previously claimed that he wanted to stay at the north London.
Last month, the player's agent also revealed that the defender was very happy at Tottenham.
There's a bond between both the club and Vertonghen, but a deal is still yet to be agreed, added his agent, Tom De Mul.
