Toby Alderweireld is relishing tonight's encounter with Tottenham teammate Ben Davies when Belgium face Wales at Euro 2016.

The Belgian centre back has featured in all four of his nation's fixtures in France this summer, but fellow Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen's tournament is over after being ruled out with an ankle injury.

Mousa Dembele is vying for a place in the Red Devils' midfield, which means this evening's quarter final in Lille could have a distinctly Tottenham feel to it.

Alderweireld is ready to put club allegiances to one side and has admitted he is keen not to liaise with Davies too much in the build up to kick off.

"Ben is having a wonderful tournament but unfortunately one of us will have to go!" he told the cub's official website.

“I will speak to him a little, maybe send him a message, but I don’t want to speak to him too much.

"It will be a tough game. Their strength is as a team.

"Everybody fights for the ball, their players are strong and they don’t give a lot of chances away.

"I’m still very confident that we’ll give them a good game. They will know that we’ll be ready for them," he insisted.

However, despite his desire to get one over on his White Hart Lane colleague, Alderweireld added he would seek out Davies at full time: "I might go for a shirt swap with Ben afterwards – we live close together in London too, so I know him well."

Davies, meanwhile, has enjoyed a memorable tournament for Chris Coleman's side, having thrived as part of a back three rather than in the left-back position he is primarily deployed in by Mauricio Pochettino.

The 23-year-old is under no illusions as to how tough Belgium will be to beat but is hopeful Coleman's side can continue to make history and progress to the last four.

"It’s going to be a hard game against them, no question.

"From playing with some of the Belgian boys at Spurs I know how good they are and how tough it’s going to be.

“We are all really looking forward to it and, to a man, we will give 100 per cent to try to progress to the semi-finals," Davies insisted.
