Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld admitted that he cannot wait to play at Wembley after experiencing the stadium for the first time.

Spurs will play their home matches in this season’s Champions League at the home of English football, and the squad trained on the pitch yesterday in preparation for their forthcoming European campaign.

The group stage draw takes place next Thursday, and Alderweireld is already anticipating a wonderful atmosphere on matchnights.

“I’ve been around but not to watch a game or a concert or anything so it’s the first time ever for me and it's nice to be here,” the Belgian told the club’s official website.

“I can’t wait to play here in front of our fans!”

“It’s always nice to train and play in big stadiums and it’s good to get the feeling for the Champions League games.

“Obviously it’s the first time to get a feel for how things are here and some of the small games in training will help us to get the feeling of how the pitch is, how big it is and allow us to get comfortable so it’s a great initiative to train here.

“It’s an unbelievable place and when we play our games it’s going to be full of supporters so I’m really looking forward to playing here with all the Spurs fans around us. Hopefully we’ll be able to perform well and go through.”
