Spurs are chasing Toby Alderweireld of Atletico Madrid, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The Belgium international is anxious to move away from the Champions League finalists in search of regular first-team football.

And the defender has been recommended to Mauricio Pochettino by his scouts as Tottenham’s new boss seeks to revamp his squad.

Alderweireld, 25, can be used at either right-back or as a centre-half, but it is in the middle of Spurs’ defence where he has been earmarked to play.

However, any deal could hinge on where highly-rated Atletico centre-half Miranda ends up this summer.

The defender has been linked with Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United.

If the Brazilian does move on, that will leave Atletico boss Diego Simeone with a huge hole to fill, and he may then be reluctant to allow Alderweireld to move.

There are also suitors for Diego Godin – only adding to the uncertainty at the Vicente Calderon.
