Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is hopeful a deal will be completed for Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen but says nothing has been finalised yet.
The 25-year-old defender showed his versatility - one of the attributes which has impressed Redknapp - with a solid display at left-back for Belgium in Saturday's 1-0 friendly defeat against England at Wembley.
Quoted in The Sun on Sunday, the Spurs boss said: "Jan is a terrific passer and versatile too. He can play at the heart of defence but also plays very comfortable at left-back.
"I hope a deal is done but I don't think it's quite finished yet."
The player revealed on Friday night he was close to joining the north London club, claiming a deal could be done in the next "couple of weeks or maybe days".

Harry,remember what i said about the complete team?? start at the goalkeeper, must be top notch, then the back four special guys to replace Ledley, and Woody then solid midfield as of Sandro type, and then the forwards. Not the other way round ????
