Spurs have been on the trail of the Belgium defender since last season as he helped Ajax claim their second consecutive Eredivisie title.
The 25-year-old centre back is due to undergo a medical this week before completing a deal that will make him the second signing since the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as replacement for Harry Redknapp as manager.
The club said: 'We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Ajax for the transfer of Jan Vertonghen, subject to a medical.
'The 2011/12 campaign was the Belgium international's most successful season to date - being named Ajax captain at the start and going on to lead the Dutch side to their second straight league title.
'The centre back's impressive performances did not go unnoticed as he was named Eredivisie Player of the Year as well as Ajax's Player of the Year in a season that saw him score 10 times in 37 appearances.
'In total, Jan made 220 appearances and scored 28 goals for Ajax since making his debut for them in 2006.'
