Ajax defender Joel Veltman says Vincent Janssen has joked the pair will soon become teammates, but admitted his agent is yet to hear of any interest from Tottenham.

As Standard Sport reported on Friday, Spurs are considering a move for Veltman this summer as coach Mauricio Pochettino looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.

The 25-year-old can play at centre-back or right-back, and has only a year left on his current contract at Ajax.

Despite being on Tottenham's radar, Veltman admits the club have not yet contacted his agent about a summer transfer to north London but did reveal his compatriot, and Spurs striker, Janssen has been joking the duo will play alongside each other at club level in the future.

The Netherlands international, who played the entirety of Ajax's Europa League defeat to Manchester United, told VI: "I have spoken with my agent, but he is unaware of any interest from Tottenham.

"Vincent Janssen was joking that we will become team-mates, but there is nothing to it as of yet.

"I have one year left on my current contract, so normally I will either renew or be sold. That is only logical. There will be clarity after my holiday. But a transfer is a bigger option than before.

"Ajax's offer to renew is a nice gesture, they want me to stay. But this could be the moment for me to look at other options.

"But the right club will have to come along. There is nothing concrete for now, but I am not in a rush."
