Benfica are set to announce the signing of recently-departed Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Vertonghen was keen for a new challenge after eight years with Spurs and is attracted by a move to Portugal where he can learn a new language.

The defender has reportedly signed a three-year deal, with the announcement imminent.
