Tottenham Hotspur defender remains close to his Belgian pals.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld faces an uncertain future but he is not getting down about it.
The centre-back has been left on the bench for all but one league game since returning from injury and The Mirror report he could be sold this summer.
Alderweireld remains in good spirits, as he showed on Thursday poking fun at teammate Mousa Dembele.
The pair are also colleagues at international level with Belgium and are close off the field as well as on it.
Alderweireld’s situation is somewhat bizarre as he is handling everything so well and acting as if his contract situation and lack of playing time is not a concern ahead of the World Cup.
That speaks to his professionalism, and perhaps he is happy because he knows a big pay day is coming his way one way or another if he leaves or gets Spurs to increase their offer.
The manner in which he is continuing to be so jovial off the pitch and publicly focused on the team at least gives fans a slither of hope that he will renew his contract even if media reports all suggest otherwise.
