Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen could be on the move this summer after his agent claimed there was interest in the player.

The Belgium international has been targeted by a number of club's which include North London rivals Arsenal and Spurs as well as Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City.
His agent, Mustapha Nakhli, has been talking up a move for his player and Ajax do not appear to be about to stand in his way, although a fee would be needed as he has a further year to go on his present deal in Amsterdam.
"There is enormous interest. A number of clubs have made concrete approaches, with Tottenham among them," Nakhli said. "Jan has a few dream clubs.
"Playing at the top of the Premier League is something he has worked really hard for."
Ajax boss Frank De Boer has tipped the defender to go far now he has cleaned up his act both on and off the field.
"Jan has seen the light," said De Boer. "Not only on the pitch, but away from it. I have been very critical of him and, at some point, he must have become fond of me.
"His development is wonderful to see. If he leaves, I think it is right. Earlier, I thought it would have been unwise. It will not be easy to replace him."
