Legendary former defender Jan Vertonghen has announced his retirement from international football.

Belgium's record appearance maker, Jan has called time on his international career after earning 157 caps for his country since his debut back in June, 2007.

A much-loved player during his eight years in north London, Jan joined us from Dutch side Ajax in the summer of 2012 and went on to make over 300 appearances for us in an incredible period of growth for the Club before departing in 2020.

Playing for in two major cup finals, including the 2019 Champions League Final, the defender was a core part of that team and became a fan favourite during his time in north London.

He was also part of a golden generation for the Belgium national team, helping them to qualify for three consecutive World Cup finals (2014, 2018 and 2022) after the Red Devils had missed the 2002 and 2006 editions. They finished third at Russia 2018.

He also helped them qualify for three consecutive European Championship finals from 2016 to 2024, most recently starting in their Euro 2024 quarter-final defeat to France.

Congratulations Jan on a fantastic career!

Jan's remarks on his decision to call time on his international career

On his official instagram, Jan said: "First one, last one. Thx for all the memories, I lived my dream! 🇧🇪"

Luana Bühler has been called up by Switzerland for their final two fixtures of their UEFA EURO 2025 qualifiers.

A constant in the Switzerland backline throughout their qualifying campaign since the turn of the year, the defender has been selected once more for her nation as they just need one point to secure their spot at the top of the group.

Pia Sundhage’s side travel to Kocaeli Stadium to face Turkey on Friday 12 July (6.30pm UK) in their penultimate game of the campaign before rounding off the group by welcoming Azerbaijan on Tuesday 16 July (6pm UK).

Luana, who has featured in every game for her country in the EURO qualifiers, has 52 caps and three goals to her name.

Steal the Show - 2024/25 Away Kit unveiled  Tottenham Hotspur

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was named the official UEFA Euro 2024 Player of the Match for his endeavours in Denmark's 1-1 draw with England on Thursday night.

Starting once more for his nation at the continental tournament in Germany, the midfielder was at his commanding best in the heart of the Danish midfielder, marshalling it majestically against Group C leaders England.

Claiming his 79th cap of his international career, our number five dominated on the pitch and that was reflected in the statistics. All over the pitch for his country, Pierre enjoyed 7.4 per cent possession of the ball in the game - the most of any player - while he also played 83 passes - again, the most of any player on the park. He also attempted nine tackles - the most of any player - and was successful with six of them - once more, the most of any player. He also made three interceptions - and, yes. You guessed it. The most of any player.

And, while he dominated in the defensive numbers, he also showed his potency in front of goal as he took on more shots than any other player (six) with four of them on target - no player managed more.
