Ex-Spurs Player Toby Alderweireld

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What we need to remember is that over the last 2 seasons we’ve had the best defence. Now on 1 of those defenders are playing, which is Vertonghen. As soon as Toby is back we’ll see more solidity at the back.
 
Looks like he's off. Gutted to see him go, hopefully we can get a nice fee and bring in a good replacement. Tah has been mentioned who I'd much rather see than Mawson

No football = slow news day.

Hope our scouting network have been working hard on identifying a replacement...

We haven't played a back 3 for a while, so Sanchez and Vertonghen will do for now but Vertonghen will also need replacing within the next couple of seasons.

I'm still hoping Foyth will be ready to step up.

From football.london (no idea whether it's a reliable site)...

Poch says ....

"Juan is 20 now and a great talent. He only needs time to adapt himself to the Premier League. He is going to surprise many people. Juan is a great kid with a lot of quality to become one of the fantastic centre-backs in the Premier League and Europe too."

For Pochettino to be able to work closely with his young compatriot in the next two weeks will help lay the groundwork to eventually ease Foyth into Premier League action.

He's definitely seen as the future. Wouldn't even surprise me if he was bought specifically with an eye on being a replacement for Toby.
