Claims swirling on social media in recent days suggested that Belgian defender Vertonghen had cheated with Eriksen’s partner Sabrina Kvist, even alleging that Spurs star Harry Kane had been forced to step in amid a bust-up between the pair.

But both Eriksen and Vertonghen Tweeted on Wednesday to reject those claims.

“#bullshit,” tweeted Eriksen, 27, along with a sleeping emoji – also sharing the original outlandish claims which have since been deleted.

Vertonghen, 32, shared his teammate’s tweet with a series of crying emojis and also a heart after tagging Eriksen.

Eriksen and Kvist have been together since 2012 and welcomed their first child, Alfred, in 2018.   

Vertonghen – who also played with Eriksen at Ajax – has two children with partner Sophie de Vries.

Eriksen and Vertonghen were both in action as Spurs suffered a 7-2 home humiliation to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
