Jan Vertonghen has had a terrible few days.
Whilst away with Tottenham in Germany for the second leg of his club’s Champions League tie against RB Leipzig, which was lost 3-0, armed men broke into his London house.
This has inevitably left the Vertonghen family shaken, and the Spurs star is the latest in a long line of footballers to have their homes targeted whilst they’re on away trips.
There’s previously been a cluster of cases related to Liverpool, and Real Madrid and Barcelona players have faced a similar issue. That’s led to advanced home security for many, although it’s a balance between keeping your own freedom and locking everything down.
‘worried sick’ when he heard the news.
There’s a suggestion, and that’s all it is, that the family may now not be quite as happy in London as they have been.
HLN points out they still own a house in Amsterdam, from the player’s time with Ajax, although there’s no overt claim he’d now look more positively on a return to that club.
