Jose Mourinho makes strong statement about Eriksen and Vertonghen new contracts

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has stated he wants to see Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen follow Toby Alderweireld lead, as he signed three-year contract with the club. Both Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen have their contracts expiring in the end of this season and the Portuguese manager admitted that he would sign a new deal with Tottenham if he was in either players’ shoes. Speaking to Sky Sports, Spurs boss said: “If I was Jan or Christian, I would stay because they have been here for such a long time. They are living the life of the club in the past four, five years, the transition to White Hart Lane to the best stadium in the world, the perspectives of the future, the vision of the club, if I was them I would say I want to be part of the next thing.” Mourinho also added: “I would like Jan to sign a new contract. (And) the only thing I will say about Christian is that I want him to sign a new contract. Apart from that, I won’t say anything else (about him). I think a player will sign a contract when the club wants – I am the club, Mr Levy is the club – when the player wants, when the family wants, when the agent wants. If one of these parts doesn’t want it is very difficult to happen, unless the player changes agent and gets one that also wants (it).” Source- Spurs Web
