Jan still the man for Arsenal after Spurs warning

Jan Vertonghen could still end up in an Arsenal shirt,

The Ajax star has now warned Tottenham Hotspur to hurry up and sign him, or risk losing him to the Gunners.

Arsene Wenger will no doubt be on alert, and not just because it would mean denying arch rivals Spurs a player they seemed intent on signing, but for his defensive qualities as well.

Harry Redknapp's side are allegedly to agreeable to Ajax's £13million value and feel Vertonghen is worth only £10m.

Vertonghen has a year left on his deal and has already met Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

Vertonghen was named Dutch Player of the Year.

Vertonghen said: "I've said repeatedly that Tottenham are my first choice, but the talks haven't progressed.

"I've been shown around, I have met all their key people and their chairman came to meet me on Monday.

"But Arsenal want me too. They remain a possibility if my Spurs move falls through, as Ajax are asking £13m for me."
