Although, Spurs have not disclosed how much they have agreed to pay for the Belgium defender, who had 12 months left on his contract with Ajax Amsterdam.
It was a case of third time lucky as Spurs had seen two bids rejected as the Dutch club wanted a fee of £12 million for the central defender who made 220 appearances for the Dutch club. Spurs had been tracking the Belgium defender, who captained Ajax to a second successive Eredivisie title last season, for some time.
He won the 2011 - 2012 Dutch player of the year award as well as Ajax's player of season award and scored 10 times in 37 games last season. Vertonghen will offer Andre Villas-Boas more defensive options with Ryan Nelson moving to QPR and Ledley King's future still uncertain.
