Tottenham Hotspur star delighted with Champions League progress.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld played a crucial role in keeping a clean sheet against Borussia Dortmund.
The Belgian helped shut Dortmund out, with Spurs winning 1-0 in Germany.
The 4-0 aggregate win was a major statement for Mauricio Pochettino’s side to the rest of Europe, that they must be taken seriously.
It might even be a wake up call for Alderweireld too.
Alderweireld’s future is an issue which has hung over the club’s head for the past 18 months.
His contract expires in 2020, and this summer, clubs can buy him for just £25 million due to a clause in his contract, The Guardian report.
Sure, Alderweireld could earn more elsewhere, but from a sporting perspective, Tottenham are beginning to give him everything he should want.
The club are into the last eight of the Champions League for the first time under Mauricio Pochettino.
Alderweireld thanked fans for their support, and was inundated with responses urging him to stay put.
