Tottenham Hotspur might have to fend off interest from mega-rich PSG to keep Toby Alderweireld, according to a report.

The Telegraph reported on Monday that Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Toby Alderweireld.

Alderweireld and Spurs have reached an impasse over contract negotiations and he could be sold this summer unless both parties come to an agreement.

Tottenham, who may have to listen to offers of £40 million, will be desperate to keep the Belgian stalwart, but is it too late if PSG are genuinely interested?

The 28-year-old is said to be unhappy with his current £50k-a-week salary in North London and surely the mega-rich French giants would have no problem giving him a huge pay bump.

Spurs, according to The Sun, are willing to go to £110,000 per week if he signs a new deal, but even then les Parisiens can blow Mauricio Pochettino’s side out of the water completely and PSG’s interest seems ominous.

It was bad when Manchester United were sniffing around, but if Unai Emery is also interested in bringing him to the French capital then it is growing increasingly harder to see Alderweireld remaining a Spurs player beyond the summer.
