It read: ‘Jan Vertonghen caught sleeping with Christian Eriksen wife. Harry Kane got involved, big dressing room bust up.
‘Club refusing to offer Vertonghen a new contract. Eriksen was due to join Real Madrid but personal reasons stopped the deal. Half the players not taking (talking) to each other, Eriksen said he’s not in a good place to play football.

The off-field incident comes amid a poor start to the season for both Tottenham and Eriksen, who came off the bench in the heavy Champions League defeat by Bayern on Tuesday night.
Eriksen, who arrived at Tottenham from Ajax in 2013, was keen to leave the club in the summer, but a preferred move toSpainnever materialized . He is yet to hit top form this season as speculation continues to swirl on his future.
His contract with Spurs will expire this summer and Eriksen is not expected to be short of options as he weighs up his next move.
Pochettinois also thought to be dissatisfiedwith Eriksen’s current situation, and unhappy that a player keen for a fresh challenge in the summer was not offloaded.

It has been a rough few months for Vertonghen too after he was left out of a number of matches in the opening weeks of the season.
He made his first appearance of the campaign in the north London derby on September 1. Vertongh en insisted he was fit to play throughout his absence and was dropped purely for tactical purposes. He has played every minute of every Premier League game since the trip to Arsenal and both of the club’s European group games.
Earlier this week, Spurs opened talks with Vertonghen over a contract extension.
The key central defender is, like Eriksen , also out of contact at the end of the season, when he could leave for nothing.
But discussions over a new deal are underway, though there is an apprehension from Spurs to offer the 32 – year-old anything over a 12 month deal given his age.
