Chelsea and Manchester City have been made aware of Toby Alderweireld’s breakdown in contact talks with Tottenham, according to reports.

The Belgium international’s current deal has less than two years remaining and if Spurs exercise their option to extend it for another season, the defender would then be available for £25 million in the summer of 2019 due to a release clause.

The Daily Telegraph claims that both Chelsea and Manchester City are monitoring the 28-year-old’s situation, while Spurs may entertain offers next summer if he fails to sign a new contract.

And Alderweireld’s agent, Stijn Francis, has suggested the Belgian may look to leave Tottenham if they fail to reward his performances with a significant improvement on his £50,000-a-week deal.

‘Toby is always good. Even after his injury he recovered well,’ he told Het Nieuwsblad.

‘Tottenham’s statistics fell sharply during his absence.

‘If you only look at his figures, Toby is impressive and for his performances, he deserves either a correct contract from Tottenham or a transfer.

‘For a transfer, you know that he can only leave Tottenham for seven or eight teams and almost all the other top clubs are interested in Toby.

‘There are not a lot of central defenders of his kind, so they are sought after. But those clubs also know that they have to negotiate with Daniel Levy.’
