Vertonghen welcomes new teammate to Tottenham Hotspur

Nowadays, it is not unheard of for footballers to welcome a new teammate to their club before actually meeting them in person.With social media at their fingertips, a simple tweet is enough for a new arrival to feel welcomed.Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen took this option after the club announced the arrival of Davinson Sanchez.The 21-year-old could end up playing alongside Vertonghen in Mauricio Pochettino’s team.Sanchez made 32 appearances during his year-long spell at Ajax last season, and he ended the campaign as the club’s Player of the Year following his impressive performances in the Europa League.The Colombian international was a major reason why the club reached the final of the second tiered European tournament, but they ended up losing to Manchester United.Sanchez is Spurs’ first big signing of the summer, with The TelegraphÂreporting that the club have spent £42m on his signature.Vertonghen’s reaction to the news was brief, but he seemed very happy about the acquisition.
