Pochettino’s brilliant Tottenham XI for 2014/15 featuring Arsenal transfer target and £16.8m Netherlands international

CB – Jan Vertonghen

Like Lloris this Belgium international has been strongly linked with a move away from the English capital this summer in order to achieve Champions League football.

However, Vertonghen himself has denied those rumours and the 27-year-old is sure to be a lot happier if played in his preferred centre-back role.
