:Headline: Tuesday's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup: Willian, Jan Vertonghen, Philippe Coutinho:
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Tuesday, July 28.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Tottenham Hotspur eye possible reinforcements.

Spurs were among the biggest spenders during the January transfer window but are expected to be active again in the summer as Jose Mourinho continues to mould his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tuesday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:


Japhet Tanganga signs new long-term deal with Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham have started to plan for the future with long-serving centre-back Jan Vertonghen departing while young defender Japhet Tanganga has penned a new deal to keep him at the club until 2025.

Belgium international Vertonghen, whose contract was extended in June until the end of the current season, has not been offered a new long-term deal and will now leave Spurs where he made over 300 appearances.

The 33-year-old tweeted: "So my time at the club comes to an end. A sad day for many reasons.

"I will miss the friends I've made here, the staff that make the club run, playing at the amazing new stadium & of course you fans.

Vertonghen made his last appearance for Tottenham as a late substitute in the 3-1 win at Newcastle while his winning goal at Molineux in November went on to be decisive in the battle for a Europa League spot with Spurs finishing above Wolves on goal difference.

Mourinho told Spurs TV: "Playing, not playing, being on the bench, being in the starting line up, he was the same Jan with the same behaviour and same professionalism and respect.

"As you can imagine I coached so many top players and professionals and I can promise you he is in the top of my list in relation to the professional he is.

"Of course I wish him the best and I would love him to be back at the club one day, if that is his wish and desire, but I think he has years of football as a player.

"If after that he wants to go in another direction as a football coach or other jobs, I think he is one of the guys who leaves a mark on the club and on myself for sure."

Vice-captain Harry Kane said on Instagram: "Wish nothing but the best for @jvertonghen and @mvorm with whatever is next for them. Been a pleasure sharing a dressing room and playing with them both."

Vertonghen's Belgium team-mate Toby Alderweireld said: "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."

Vertonghen, who had been keen to stay at Spurs, has previously spoken about the desire to move to a new country and play in the Champions League, with Spain and Italy possible destinations.



Chelsea make breakthrough in Willian contract talks?

Chelsea have reportedly made an important breakthrough in their contract talks with winger Willian.

The 31-year-old is currently due to leave the club at the end of this month when his existing deal comes to an end, having failed to agree terms over an extension with the Blues.

Willian remains keen to stay at Stamford Bridge but has been holding out for a three-year contract, whereas Chelsea have only been willing to offer two years.

However, Sky Sports News claims that they have now been able to make progress in talks and that Chelsea are now confident of keeping the Brazilian attacker.

Willian had been linked with moves to the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur after revealing his preference to stay in London, while Barcelona, Manchester United and Inter Miami have also reportedly asked to be kept up to date with any developments.

The winger has scored 11 goals and created nine more in 47 appearances across all competitions this season.
