This is the dream XI Tottenham could have had come Deadline Day

CB: Jan Vertonghen

The other half of the perfect defensive pair. With his fellow Belgian alongside him Jan Vertonghen went from strength to strength last season and will want to so again.

Similar to his captain in between the sticks behind him, the 29-year-old and his partner in crime next to him will have to be firing on all cylinders throughout the season if Spurs stand any chance of competing at the top once again.
