Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee with AZ for defender Ron Vlaar.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee of £2.3 million with AZ Alkmaar for defender Ron Vlaar.

The 20-year-old, a full Dutch international, has a year and a half left on his contract at the Alkmaarder Hout, but has refused to sign a new deal.

As a result AZ have now decided to cash in on the stopper rather than risk losing him for virtually nothing in 18 months' time.

Vlaar has cut something of an outspoken figure in recent weeks and was fined for disparaging comments made about coach Louis van Gaal after losing his place in Alkmaar's first team.

Ajax were also keen to sign the youngster, dubbed 'The new Jaap Stam' in his homeland, but saw an offer of €1 million (£600,000) turned down earlier in the week.

Obviously keen to head off any further interest in the player, Spurs have now stepped in and agreed to meet AZ's valuation.

It means, subject to Vlaar agreeing terms with the North Londoners, that the defender will move to White Hart Lane when the transfer window reopens in January.

He will face strong competition for a place at Spurs with Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Anthony Gardner and Nourredine Naybet all vying for a starting berth in the heart of Martin Jol's rearguard.

i laughed so hard when i read what they paid for him. £2.3 million for a player who played 3 decent games and isnt even a starter. he's hardly on the bench.

yup but his a young talent we can surely develope.. I dont question no dealing that Martin Jol does because he's the man to take us back to the top and his track record for gettin the best out of young players is 2nd to none..

Will add some good competition for Dawson and Ledders, considering Gardners useless and Naybet is way too old now.

I'm sure he'll be handled right there, dutch teams only know how to fuck their talents up and then start bitching about it when they get big 3 years later. The school I went to is also where all the AZ youth is at, it's specialized in combining sports and school Vlaar was there too when he went and played for AZ I remembered his face but I never knew him, out of all the people I knew who played in the youth he is the only one who's actually got a chance to make it big.
