Arsenal & Tottenham Target Staying Focused Despite Transfer Speculation

Arsenal and Tottenham target Jan Vertonghen has again spoken of a potential summer move, but insists he won’t let speculation distract him from winning the title this season.

According to the Daily Mirror, North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham will join Newcastle in bidding for the Ajax defender this summer.

The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from the Dutch giants after refusing to sign an extension to his current contract, which expires in just over a years time, and a move to the Premier League has been mooted.

However, while the Belgian international has once again claimed he is open to a transfer and revealed he has offers in the pipeline, he has stressed he’s only thinking about winning the title this season:

“Everybody knows that I’m open to a transfer, but you shouldn’t want to leave at all costs,” he told Algemeen Dagblad .

“I have a few things lined up at the moment, but it’s difficult to say anything about that at the moment. I’ll see what happens, if something becomes concrete.

“I’m focusing on putting in good performances and winning the league title for now,”

Vertonghen said in the Mirror newspaper.
