Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen's move to Tottenham Hotspur is still very much on despite the London club's sacking of coach Harry Redknapp, the Belgian player's agent said.

Vertonghen's agent Mustapha Nakhli told reporters on Sunday that "nothing has changed at all. He is coming to Tottenham for the club and not for the manager.

"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 [Tottenham chairman] Daniel Levy. He wants the deal to happen. I don't know when it will happen but the deal is close, very close."
