Jan Vertonghen is loving life in the Premier League and happy he joined Tottenham

Jan Vertonghen believes Tottenham have an 'amazing team' and is relishing the challenge of competing in the Premier League.

"It was very important [that we won the game]. We played another system, there were a few changes with the players and it was a good tactical decision from the manager. "I've played at left-back in the national team and if I can help the team I will. I hoped to give an assist [to Gareth Bale] but I'm happy I was involved in the second goal." Next up is an away game against Manchester United on Saturday, but Vertonghen is adamant that Tottenham can challenge the best teams in the division. "I played at Old Trafford last year with Ajax and it's an amazing atmosphere," said Vertonghen. "I'm looking forward to my first game with Tottenham against Man United, and I think we're strong enough to do some good things there. "We've played well away from home, especially against Reading. We have a lot of confidence, especially after getting our first home win. "Do we still need to get used to playing together? I hope we can play our best game from the start, but of course we need to adapt to each other. "A lot of players are injured - five or six players who can be in the starting XI - so when everybody's back I think we have one of the strongest teams in the league."
