Ajax looking at Vertonghen and Alderweireld

Ajax are hoping that they can maintain their European form with their mix of youth and age in their squad. With the club constantly looking to sign new names, Marc Overmars has become an important figure at the Dutch club.

The ex-player, now director of sport at Ajax, is working to sign two footballers who left the Dutch team when they were young.

They both currently play for Tottenham Hotspur - Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld. While the Belgian is an important figure at Spurs, the ex-Atletico player is also another key starter at the Premier Legaue club.

At 31 and 30 years old, they could both still continue where they are before returning 'home'. It is important to remember that both of their contracts with Spurs expire in 2020, a time when Ajax will look to coach younger players through the team for the future.
