Ajax central defender Jan Vertonghen has been urged to join Tottenham Hotspur by his teammate Toby Alderweireld.

Vertonghen has been attracting the interest of a number of clubs this season and Harry Redknapp's side have been strongly linked with a summer move for the 24-year-old.

After impressing in the Eredivisie during this campaign, fellow Ajax defender Alderweireld has claimed that White Hart Lane would be an ideal destination for Vertonghen.

Alderwiereld told Voetbal International: "Tottenham Hotspur would be a good club for him.

"They compete at the top and in a beautiful league and also he would have a good chance to be a starting player."

Spurs are currently third in the Premier League.
