Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to some images of Jan Vertonghen training at Hotspur Way.
The North London club shared some images of the Belgian international training at the club, as Premier League sides returned to small group training last week ahead of the likely return of top-flight football in England (per Sky Sports).
So far this season, the 33-year-old defender has averaged a solid 6.85 rating for his performances in the Premier League but it still seems as if he is going to depart the Lilywhites this summer when his contract expires.
Would you give Vertonghen a one-year extension?
Yes
No
Reaction from Spurs fans to the images of Vertonghen can be seen in the tweets below.
Please at least give him an extension till the end of the season… he deserves to finish out the season here and go out the right way

I worry we are going to lose Super @JanVertonghen without giving him the farewell he deserves.

@JanVertonghen please sign a new contract

One fan even stated that their heart is breaking after seeing the image, which could be down to the fact that he’s been linked with a departure from Spurs.

It seems as if a lot of these Spurs fans feel Vertonghen should be offered a contract extension by the club.
What do we think?
Considering that it has been previously reported that Spurs will be forced to rely on swap deals and free transfers for their summer business, they may be better off keeping Vertonghen as back-up for another year rather than looking to bring in a cheap replacement.
