Toby Alderweireld’s future at Spurs is still up in the air as the defender recently told Sky Sports that there has been no progress on his current contract situation.
The defender is holding out to be on a par with some of the better paid players at the club but with his current contract ending in 2019, there is a fear that he could leave to a club that is willing to spend money and give him a bigger pay package.
With Southampton keeping hold of Virgil van Dijk and still unrelenting in their demands of keeping him, many believe that Alderweireld would not only be a great replacement for the Dutchman at Liverpool but also a cheaper alternative too.
Some questioned as to why Spurs are not signing him on for a longer duration and here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the Liverpool fans.
I don’t want to be greedy, but if we get VVD then we should go in for Toby alderweireld next. Defence would be like a brick wall #LFC

You should be all over Toby Alderweireld if there’s even a remote chance. Said this a long time ago, @LFC

Alderweireld is the only CB in the PL I would say is better than Van Dijk, only slightly.
