Defender Jan Vertonghen admits he is growing frustrated at the fact his transfer from Ajax to Spurs is yet to be completed.Spurs had been on course to seal a deal earlier this month but as yet the Belgian remains an Ajax player.
There have been reports that there is an issue between the player and Ajax regarding a possible fee he may be due from the transfer, although Ajax financial director Jeroen Slop has claimed it is Spurs who have slowed down the progress of the deal.
Vertonghen has now revealed he is keen to finalise the move as soon as possible in order to end the uncertainty surrounding his future.
"I had not expected it would go on for this long," he told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
"I am not just hoping for a solution but I do not assume. I thought this would happen much sooner, Tottenham was fast, serious and concrete.
"Look, Ajax wants what is best for themselves, and I go with myself - that is life, but I have always been good with the fans and the club, I just did not take into account it would take this long."
Should the deal go through, Spurs are expected to pay around £9.5million for the highly-rated 25-year-old.
