Spurs fans took to Twitter to react to Toby Alderweireld’s new contract

Belgian international Toby Alderweireld has signed a new contract today, extending his stay with Tottenham Hotspur until 2023 (h/t Tottenhamhotspur.com).

The defender, whose contract was supposed to run out in the summer, has signed a new contract that effectively triples his wages from £50,000 to £150,000-per-week (h/t Daily Mail).

Manager Jose Mourinho considers Alderweireld to be an influential player in the team and will be delighted to have retained his services. In fact, the manager played a huge role in convincing Alderweireld to stay, despite heavy interest from rivals Manchester United (h/t Daily Mail).

The Belgian has been at the club since 2015 and has made 179 appearances in a Tottenham shirt.

Spurs’ rebuild under Mourinho has clearly begun. To that end, retaining the services of one of our stalwart veterans is just the beginning.

Spurs fans took to Twitter to express their joy at the news.
