Tottenham’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

CB – Jan Vertonghen

Jan Vertonghen has been an enormous part of a Tottenham defence that are always tough to beat and break down.

Lowest conceders last season (alongside Manchester United), and lowest conceders so far this term, Belgium international Vertonghen has been an ever-present in the backline.

Strong, authoritative, and with an excellent reading of the game, the 29-year-old is one of the best centre-backs in the league, and the partnership with compatriot Toby Alderweireld will go some way to deciding what Spurs achieve this season.
