Ajax reveal Everton's interest in their versatile star

Martin Jol has revealed that Everton had made an approach for rumoured Arsenal target Jan Vertonghen in the summer.

The Ajax boss told NuSport. “Everton (were interested) but Jan knows he is better with us,

"We have over 4.5million fans. Jan is clever and would only leave the club if he is completely ready for a top European team.

"There were doubts by foreign clubs for a long period on whether he would be quick enough, but that's no longer an issue."
