Ajax boss Frank de Boer has said that defender Jan Vertonghen would be "perfect" for Barcelona.

Vertonghen, who is expected to leave the Dutch side this summer, has been linked with a move to both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. However, his manager insists that he should join the world champions instead.

"I hope he will leave for Barcelona," De Boer told reporters.

"Of course, Tottenham is a great club for Jan, but I think he will fit perfect at Barca."

Vertonghen confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the season after securing the Eredivisie title.
