Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld is reportedly in demand.

Toby Alderweireld is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, and there is no surprise that Manchester United and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing the Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

According to TEAMtalk, United and City are looking at signing Alderweireld from Spurs this summer.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also claimed to be interested in securing the services of the Belgium international central defender this summer.

The 30-year-old reportedly has a release clause in his contract that will allow him to leave Tottenham for £25 million.

Alderweireld’s comments about playing in the Champions League with Tottenham next season, though, suggest that he could stay at White Hart Lane next season.

Spurs have progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season and are aiming to finish the campaign in the top four of the Premier League.

Alderweireld told The Mirror: “We want to get top four and the Champions League as well. We’ll try to get top four, because it’s important to be in the Champions League next year.

“Last season we were close, so I think we have to do the things that we’re doing now, try to improve and try to close the gap.”

Alderweireld has made 29 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League and nine appearances in the Champions League for Tottenham so far this season, according to WhoScored.
