The Belgium international did not rule out staying at the Premier League club, but said Spain and Italy were options, with Inter Milan reportedly interested in his services.

"I want to sign with the right club. That could be Tottenham, but also another club," Vertonghen told Play Sports Kot on Wednesday.

"In any case, it should be a club with ambition. And I want to keep playing in Europe because the national team is very important to me."

He added: "I would like to learn another language. Spain and Italy are options. The duration of the contract that is offered to me will also play a role."
