Jan Vertonghen, one of the best defenders in the Premier League, has now confirmed that he has left Tottenham Hotspur as this season ended on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho was appointed as the manager but he was unable to turn things around. From last season’s Champions League finalists to just qualifying for the Europa League on goal difference, Tottenham’s trajectory has gone done this season.
As the 2019-20 Premier League season ended on Sunday, Vertonghen has announced on Monday that he has left Tottenham Hotspur, though his next destination is still unknown.
The Belgium defender has spent 8 seasons with the club. He has played 232 games for Tottenham, winning 129 of those. He has also helped them to keep 72 clean sheets during his time leading the backline. The 33-year-old has also scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists.
