TOBY ALDERWEIRELD
Age: 29. Club: Tottenham Hotspur.
Nationality: Belgium (68 caps)
Position: Centre-back. Plays like: A cut-price Gerard Piqué.
Price tag: Due to a release clause in his contract, Spurs would have to listen to bids in the region of £40 million, which for a defender of Alderweireld’s ability in his prime is an attractive offer for Manchester City.
Likelihood of a move: The club just signed Aymeric Laporte, so the likelihood of a move has dropped significantly, if not altogether disappeared. But with Vincent Kompany looking increasingly near the end of his career and Nicolas Otamendi offering more reminders of his flaws in recent weeks, central defence could definitely be an area City prioritise.
