Jan Vertonghen has revealed that a head injury against Ajax affected his final season as a Tottenham player.
Speaking to Belgian news outlet Sporza, the defender said: ‘That had a lot to do with that blow to my head against Ajax. Everyone thought I was angry with Mourinho, but at that point I just couldn’t. I still had a year contract, so I had to play. But when I played, I played badly.’

There’s better service in Lionel Messi’s aborted Bellavista Jardín del Norte restaurant than there is at Arsenal these days.

Jorge Grant has played down speculation linking him with a return to Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window, telling Lincolnshire Live he is “very happy” at Lincoln City.
There’s a certain irony in the fact that, while stuttering Forest continue to lack any sort of incision in the final third, a player who didn’t make the grade at the City Ground is finding goals easy to come by from his central midfield role.
Grant has scored ten times this season alone – that’s almost as many as Chris Hughton’s entire squad has managed in 18 Championship games (11).

Steve Bruce has admitted that he is tempted to keep Isaac Hayden in a central defensive role ahead of Newcastle United’s midweek Premier League clash with Leeds, while speaking to the Chronicle.
With Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar and Federico Fernandez all ruled out before West Brom’s trip to St James’ Park on Saturday, the Magpies boss would have been forgiven for enduring a sleepless night or two.
But he needn’t have worried.
