The centre-half has been a consistently top performer for Spurs in his two seasons at the club.

But while many of his team-mates have signed new contracts, Alderweireld hasn’t yet been offered a pay rise.

The Belgium’s current £50,000-a-week deal expires in July 2019.

And his advisor Stijn Francis has now told Spurs to pay him what he’s worth or sell him to a club that will.

“Toby is always good,” said Francis. “Even after his injury he recovered well. 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 [chairman] Daniel Levy.”
