Spurs stars send Ajax good luck message ahead of Europa League final v Man United

Ajax Hotspur?!

With just over a day to go until the Europa League final in Stockholm, a host of ex-Ajax players have been sending good luck messages to their old side.

One of the first came from three key Spurs players: Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen.

Speaking in Dutch, Jan Vertonghen does most of the talking from the Spurs plane heading to Hong Kong for a post-season match versus Kitchee.

"We will support you"

Jan Vertonghen says the following:

"Guys, lots of luck for you on Wednesday. We will watch it for sure, from Hong Kong. We will support you and hope that you'll win."

All three Tottenham players performed with distinction for Ajax during their time at the club. Vertonghen and Eriksen were signed from the Amsterdam side straight to Spurs.

Alderweireld moved to Atletico Madrid, where he played at Southampton on loan, before joining Tottenham.

Tottenham players and fans have another reason to support Ajax

Whilst the Spurs trio who played for Ajax want their old side to win, there is another clear reason why everyone connected to Tottenham will hope for a Manchester United defeat.

If United win they will go straight into pot 2 of the Champions League seedings. And, Spurs, despite finishing in second in the Premier League, would go into pot 3.

If Ajax claim victory in Stockholm, then Spurs will go into pot 2.

Thanks @JanVertonghen, @AlderweireldTob & @ChrisEriksen8! 👍 #UELfinal #ajaman pic.twitter.com/afenOFsH08
