Todays "truths".
--------------
"Jan Vertonghen's agent,according to an exclusive claimed by TMW in Italy, met with AS Roma officials twice recently. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a transfer and it's claimed Vertonghen is very up for the move.

Roma are taking some convincing, given the probable high cost. They have other targets and Vertonghen is just one on a list, regardless of his agent trying to push things.

The Belgian has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer and some of his performances haven't been up to the standards many thought he would maintain. If progression had continued as it looked like it may at Ajax then Vertonghen's agent would be meeting with clubs a step up from Roma, and not having to do all the chasing.

Daniel Levy would want a good fee, that Tottenham got the defender for a good price due to his Ajax contract running down is irrelevant when it comes to a sale. Vertonghen's choice of clubs could be further restricted.
