The defender recently urged Spurs to hand teammate Hugo Lloris an improved contract but now looks set to be rewarded himself.

Vertonghen will become the seventh Tottenham star to get his hands on a fresh deal in recent times, with Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Eric Dier and Harry Winks already putting pen to paper this season.

Erik Lamela is also in line to commit his future as Mauricio Pochettino looks to keep spirits high.
