Tottenham have activated the option to extend Jan Vertonghen's contract until 2020, the club have confirmed.
The Belgian defender's current deal was set to expire at the end of the season with Spurs exercising the option to extend it by a further year.
Vertonghen recently told Standard Sport he is not currently in talks over a new deal but insists he would be happy to do so.
"The club can confirm that we have activated the option to extend Jan Vertonghen’s contract until 2020," a statement from Tottenham read.
"The Belgium international has made 264 appearances for the Club since joining from Ajax in 2012.
"He was rewarded for his fine form last season with a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and the One Hotspur members’ Player of the Season award.
"Jan also recently became the most capped player in Belgium’s history with 110 appearances for the Red Devils."
Vertonghen is out of tomorrow’s north London derby and will not play another game for Tottenham this year.
The Belgium defender missed Saturday’s 1-0 win over Burnley with a thigh injury and Spurs do not believe he will recover in time to feature in any of their remaining matches in 2018.
