Spurs transfer news: Roma still interested in signing Alderweireld

Sky Italy (h/t Sky Sports) claims that AS Roma are still interested in signing Toby Alderweireld.

The Tottenham defender was available for £25m in the summer window until the release clause in his contract expired (h/t Sky Sports).

The Belgian has just one more year left on his current contract and the report claims that Spurs have not received any offers for the centre-back.

The 30-year-old is one of the best in the Premier League and recently claimed that he expects to remain at the club for the next season (h/t Sky Sports):

“Yes [I expect to still be a Tottenham player at the start of the season].

“That’s my focus in football. Everything can go quick but all I’m doing is focusing on Spurs and being fit for the start of the season.”

Spurs should not sell Alderweireld now

The Premier League season starts in less than 10 days and selling Alderweireld now would be a major error from Spurs.

The Belgian has been excellent alongside Jan Vertonghen in recent years and we could still extend his stay should he sign a new deal with Spurs.

The 30-year-old has been excellent for us in the pre-season games so far and looks to be in great shape. Tottenham’s centre-back options could be reduced going into the season, after Juan Foyth injured his ankle in the Audi Cup win over Bayern Munich.

The Argentine is suspended for the first two Premier League games of the new campaign, but his injury looks a little serious.
