Jan Vertonghen : I Know Arsenal Want To Sign Me!

Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen admits he misses former teammate Thomas Vermaelen.

Dutch sources say Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen to pair Vermaelen with the Ajax defender.

Vertonghen said: “I read in the newspaper that they’re following me, but Ajax will not sell me, so I’ll stay another year.

“I lost a friend when he went to Arsenal, but it was good for his career. We are very close and sometimes I call him several times a week.”
