Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas made sure to complete the move for Belgian international and former Ajax Amsterdam captain Jan Vertonghen this summer when he took over the squad. The ground work that had been laid by Harry Redknapp and Daniel Levy was seen to fruition by the club's young manager.

Tottenham continue to search for additional midfield support for the new regime under Andre Villas-Boas. As it appears that former midfield target Joao Moutinho has confirmed that his interests are no longer with joining Tottenham, the North London club have turned their attention to the Spanish La Liga for their latest target.

Tottenham were one of the busier sides in the transfer window this summer, with Andre
Villas-Boas eager to add his own touch to the squad he inherited earlier in the off-season.
Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole followed in the footsteps of Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and co
yesterday by joining the Twitter ranks and it is fair to say he received a fairly frosty reception
from Arsenal fans, who still feel somewhat tetchy about the defender's acrimonious departure from
the north London club.
Andre Villas-Boas has said that want-a-way midfielder Luka Modric will not be sold until someone
meets Tottenham's £35million asking price.
Spanish champions Real Madrid are thought to be leading the chase for the 26-year-old midfielder
with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly among other potential suitors.

Arsenal have been handed a hammer blow due to the fact that captain and talisman Robin van
Persie has confirmed that he will not be extending his contract at the north London club. With less
than 12 months before the Netherlands international is a free agent, Arsene Wenger has a key
decision to make in whether to keep his best player and lose him for nothing in a year, or sell him
now for financial gain and to a preferable buyer.
Vertonghen vindicated: Ledley King's replacement has big shoes to fill at Tottenham - originally

After a protracted summer transfer saga, Tottenham have finally landed their number one target,
Jan Vertonghen, who joins the north London club from Ajax. Much has been made over the Belgian's
addition, as the defender's performances have had some of Europe's top clubs sit up and take
note.
There are some pretty wild rumours flying round at the moment, some of a quite reliable source,
that Robin Van Persie could be set to leave Arsenal and join Man City.
Van Persie's future at Arsenal had been up in arms for many weeks now, and a decision was set to
be confirmed around now with Holland already out of the Euro's, and if its true that RVP is to
leave Arsenal then this would be a big shock and if he moves to their rivals Man City then this
would be a very bitter pill for Arsenal fans to swallow.
Following the recent departure of Harry Redknapp from Tottenham Hotspur, attention has quickly
focused on the search for his replacement. In recent seasons, the North London club has enjoyed
spells of success in the Premier League and Champions...
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Niko Kranjcar has completed his proposed move to Dynamo Kiev,
ending a frustrating three-year spell at the North London club.
The Spurs finished a promising campaign on a low note when Chelsea's Champions League triumph
allowed the Blues to use Tottenham's fourth-place ticket as an entry to next year's competition as
defending champions.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Louis Saha has reiterated his desire to stay on at White Hart Lane as
his contract expires this summer.
Fans of the North London club are surely concerned with a potential exodus as bigger clubs line
up for some of Harry Redknapp's stars such as Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, and with only Europa
League football on display next season Redknapp may be forced to shuffle his squad.
The Japanese International has been linked with a move to a London club in recent reports.
He has also said he would love to play in England.
So which club in London would he move to? I know he won't choose the other North London club.
Chelsea have already signed Marin, I wouldn't rule them out though.

Arsenal have been through something of a rollercoaster season, starting very slowly before a
revival has the north London side 90 minutes away from a respectable third place.
Wenger: Contract Talks With RVP Will Begin at Season's End
Arsenal FC manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that the Gunner will offer a new
deal to club captain Robin van Persie when the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League
season ends. Moreover, he declared that even if transfer talks with the Dutchman fail, they will
not try to sell him in the summer transfer window.
Many of today's headlines have been dedicated to Arsenal completing the capture of Germany
striker Lukas Podolski, who will join the Gunners next season after trying to save his current club
Cologne from Bundesliga relegation.
Podolski was linked with a transfer to the North London club a few weeks ago but dismissed the
speculation to focus on Cologne's struggles.
It has been reported by Daily Mail that long-term Arsenal target Yann
M'Vila is also attracting interest from Italian giants Inter Milan and
Champions League finalists Bayern Munich.
It's probably the weakest link in the Arsenal setup. Should Arsenal employ for a new striker in January or does the North London club have enough cover in the likes of Gervinho?
As we've seen, the Ivorian can be fickle in front of goal.
The 16th of September, 1999 marked a landmark occasion for Arsenal FC as they kicked their first
ball in Europe's elite club competition, drawing 1-1 against French club RC Lens, with Marc
Overmars writing himself into the history books, scoring the Gunners first ever goal.
For 15 of the next 16 seasons the north London club would grace the Champions League and are now
preparing for their 14th consecutive continental campaign.

While the future of Arsenal skipper and super striker Robin van Persie remains unclear at best, his
deputy Thomas Vermaelen has made his intentions crystal clear by declaring he wishes to stay on at
the North London club "forever". In a declaration more apt for one's wedding vows, 27-year old
center back Vermaelen took advantage [.
Arsenal FC have decided to enter their youth team in this year's NextGen youth
football tournament. Last year's inaugural version of the tournament, which was won by Inter Milan,
boosted the participating teams' young players' confidence and therefore, the Gunners have also
decided to join it.
Internacional have said no to Spurs after the offer from the North London club failed to meet
the Brazilian's valuation of the player. On Tuesday, Inter vice president of football, Luciano
Davi, said "Tottenham came after us. The offer did not reach the number that Inter think [he] is
worth.
Manchester City Set To Take Another Player by AH Manchester are eyeing up another player in
association with Arsenal. No I'm not talking about Van Persie, or any current Arsenal player, I am
talking about SM Caen striker M'baye Niang, who had a weeks trial with the North London club
earlier this month.
Liverpool have thrown their hat into the ring in the race to sign Daniel Sturridge this summer,
with Tottenham and Manchester City also in the hunt for the Chelsea forward.
The Reds are ready to table a £10 million bid for the unsettled striker who scored a career-best
13 goals for Chelsea last season, but ended the campaign having fallen out of favour with interim
boss Roberto di Matteo, who has now been handed the role full-time.
Ledley King Is Dead (well, released), Long Live The King!
After missing out on a Champions League spot thanks to their pesky fellow Londoners Chelsea,
Tottenham have decided to have a bit of a clear-out in preparation for next season's title

The Loan Debate: Is it good for the parent club? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
With Fifa Financial Fair Play coming into effect and extortionate transfer fees blighting some
clubs' efforts to reinforce, the tried-and-tested loan system is an option can make or break a
team's season.
One only has to look at the track record of young players evolving into top-class athletes
whilst on loan deals, or a club being boosted by a temporary signing.
Tottenham are ready to go head to head with Liverpool this summer for Juventus winger Milos Krasic,
with the north London club readying a bid according to German newspaper Bild.
Krasic played just seven times for Juve last season and didn't feature from January onwards,
prompting him to declare his intentions to leave the club.
With less than two months until Euro 2012 kicks-off in Warsaw, England alone of the
finalists do not have a confirmed manager.
Tottenham Hotspur's 1-5 humiliation by Chelsea today may usher the hot favourite Harry Redknapp
closer to the exit door at White Hart Lane and the Jubilee Line to Wembley Park.
Recently Arsenal signed 26 year old German striker Lukas Podolski. This signing has culminated
in positivity in the Arsenal camp, and has possibly put to bed the criticism of conservative
signings by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Early signings in Wenger's tenure are almost unheard of.
