Former Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has completed his move to Benfica.

Vertonghen has officially been unveiled as a Benfica player on a three-year contract.

The Belgian centre-back, 33, was a free agent after seeing his eight-year north London stay come to an end last month.

But Vertonghen has now linked up with Portuguese giants Benfica until 2023.

It's reckoned the former Ajax star snubbed interest from a number of major European teams, including Inter Milan and Sevilla.

Benfica finished second to Porto in the Primeira Liga last season after winning five of the previous six campaigns.
