Vertonghen hopes stars stay

Jan Vertonghen hopes Tottenham do not sell any of their best players this summer.

Sky Sports News HQ understands Manchester City are confident of landing right-back Kyle Walker in the coming weeks, while newspapers have reported Danny Rose is a target for Manchester United and Christian Eriksen is liked by Barcelona.

Walker insisted to Sky Sports News HQ on Wednesday that he is not currently thinking about his future, while Eriksen has said he will ignore speculation until interest is “concrete”.

Tottenham finished runners-up for the first time in the Premier League era

But ahead of Belgium’s World Cup Qualifier with Estonia on Friday, Vertonghen told Sky Sports News HQ: “These guys showed their importance for us last season and for a couple of seasons now.

“I think Tottenham has the power and strength to keep guys like that in the team these days. I really hope they all stay and we can all push together for something very nice next season.”

Vertonghen made 42 appearances last season at centre-back as Spurs finished runners-up for the first time in the Premier League era.
