Former Holland striker Rene van der Gijp believes Jan Vertonghen has no place in the plans of Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho.

While he's off contract in June, Van der Gijp can't see Vertonghen winning over Mourinho before the end of the season.

He told Veronica Inside: "Vertonghen is not a Mourinho defender, because he is a bit phlegmatic.

"(Davinson) Sánchez is often a bit blind, but he is much more a defender than Vertonghen."

Asked about Ajax re-signing the Belgian, Van der Gijp was again blunt: "Don't do it, don't do it."
