But so far no offer has been tabled with Alderweireld asked about his situation after the 1-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday.

When asked if their was any progress on the contract situation he simply replied: "No."

Alderweireld — who has been linked with a move to Chelsea — has been on the same contract since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

And he is well behind Spurs' top earners, including Harry Kane, Jan Vertonghen and Hugo Lloris.

Last month, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino revealed he has no concerns regarding Alderweireld's contract situation.

And Alderweireld's agent has urged Tottenham to offer him a new, lucrative contract — or let him leave the club.

The centre-back's agent Stijn Francis said: "When you look at Toby's statistics, they are impressive.

"Either he deserves an appropriate contract, or else he should be given a transfer.

"There are not many central defenders around who can play like he can.

"But these clubs will have to negotiate with Tottenham's chairman, Daniel Levy."
