Tottenham’s proposed bid to sign Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen is still in the offing, despite the exit of Harry Redknapp from the club.
The White Hart Lane outfit have made the Belgium international centre-half their number one transfer target this summer, but it was feared that the deal could be damaged by Redknapp’s dismissal.
However, the player’s agent Mustapha Nakhli has revealed that Redknapp’s exit will not change anything.
“Nothing has changed at all. He is coming to Tottenham for the club and not for the manager,” Sky Sports report Nakhli as saying.
“Managers come and go. Of course Jan is sorry that Harry Redknapp is no longer there but he is going for the club.
“We have a good relationship with Daniel Levy. He wants the deal to happen and there is a good atmosphere (between us).
“I don’t know when it will happen but the deal is close, very close,” he concluded.
