Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho wants Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen to sign new contracts.

Toby Alderweireld penned terms to 2023 yesterday.

Mourinho said: “Toby's statement for me was beautiful, simple: 'I couldn't be happier in another place.'"

“In football now there are some people that it looks like they are sometimes more important than players and the clubs, and these people are very important sometimes in decisions, in solutions.

“In this case the family and the agents were happy to make the player happy. So it was easy."

When asked if he wanted Vertonghen to follow his team-mate by signing a new deal, the Portuguese boss replied: "Yes.

“Can I say more? No. I think a player will sign a contract when the club wants, 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 make it happen unless the player changes agent and gets an agent who also wants.

“But again, the most important thing is what Toby told: 'I couldn't be happier in another place'. Amazing!"

When asked about the current situation with Eriksen, Mourinho added: “The only thing I will tell you about Christian is that I would like him to sign a new contract.

"Apart from that I'm not going to tell you anything."
