# Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs confident Pochettino favourite will sign new deal amid rival offers

**Tottenham are confident Jan Vertonghen will sign a new deal until the end of the 2019/2020 Premier League season before he leaves the club in the summer.**

Vertonghen has rejected Spurs’ offer of a new contract which would keep him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a further year.

Last month, [the Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/news/1667675) confirmed clubs can negotiate short-term deals for players whose deals are due to expire on 30 June.

Now, a source has told [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-tottenham-in-line-to-extend-senior-star-deal-after-two-rival-offers/) the Lilywhites expect him to sign an extension to cover the remaining nine matches of the campaign.

[The report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-tottenham-in-line-to-extend-senior-star-deal-after-two-rival-offers/) adds Spurs are eager to reach an agreement before the Premier League clash against Manchester United next week.

Writing for [The Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-jan-vertonghen-to-leave-free-after-season-a4459431.html), football correspondent [Dan Kilpatrick](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-jan-vertonghen-to-leave-free-after-season-a4459431.html) recently revealed Vertonghen plans to stay loyal to Spurs as he won’t be able to play for another club until next season as a result of the ongoing pandemic.

As the veteran is no doubt well aware, it is hard to imagine he will play in every game anyway.

Even though the Belgian was a [favourite](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauricio-pochettino/eingesetzteSpieler/trainer/9044) of former boss Mauricio Pochettino, he has [fallen out of favour](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1284536/Tottenham-news-Jan-Vertonghen-transfer-Jose-Mourinho-contract) with Pochettino’s successor, and it seems his long stint in north London is finally winding down.

The 33-year-old, who has spent [eight years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jan-vertonghen/profil/spieler/43250) with Spurs, is now weighing up his options, amid interest from Serie A sides [Inter Milan and Fiorentina](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-tottenham-in-line-to-extend-senior-star-deal-after-two-rival-offers/).

Although he has [previously admitted](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-jan-vertonghen-to-leave-free-after-season-a4459431.html) he would like to end his career with [his boyhood club Ajax](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jan-vertonghen/profil/spieler/43250), he is now considering offers from Italy.

Despite the fact he is below the likes of Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Japhet Tanganga in the [pecking order](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/tottenham-already-next-no-5-18349314), Mourinho’s side may benefit from his presence in the dressing room, as he could counsel some of his younger teammates as Spurs seek to surge into the top four.
