Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has led tributes to Michel Vorm and Jan Vertonghen as the pair depart the club following Sunday’s final game of the Premier League season.
Both men were due to be out of contract at the end of the campaign, and signed short-term extensions last month in order to see out the prolonged season.
Vertonghen signed for the club in 2012 and formed a terrific long-term central-defensive partnership with Alderweireld, culminating in the club’s run to the Champions League final in 2019.
Vorm, meanwhile arrived from Swansea in 2014 and initially left the club last summer, only to re-sign in October last year when Hugo Lloris picked up a serious injury.
Alderweireld wrote on Twitter: “Sad to see these two amazing guys leaving the club, both great players but even better persons.
“We shared countless moments that I'll never forget. Wishing you all the best for your next steps. Keep in touch.”
Striker Harry Kane added: “Wish nothing but the best for Jan Vertonghen and Michel Vorm with whatever is next for them. Been a pleasure sharing a dressing room and playing with them both.”
