“That would be the first step in the right direction” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are responding to rumours regarding Toby Alderweireld’s contract situation.
Claims have emerged that Tottenham and the Belgian are close to agreeing terms on a new contract – with his current deal set to expire next year.
The 30-year-old had a £25m release clause in his contract, but that expired in July and, so far, no European club has approached Spurs regarding the former Southampton man.
Alderweireld is one of the best defenders in the league, and if Spurs can tie him down, then that will be a big boost to their season.
Certainly, these Tottenham fans will be thrilled if they manage to seal Alderweireld’s future in North London.
See the best of the reaction below.

Other Tottenham fans, however, don’t believe it and they are skeptical over the news regarding their defender.
