Mauricio Pochettino comments on Toby Alderweireld’s contract situation

A report from The Times on Friday about Toby Alderweireld’s future has left the Tottenham fans perplexed on social networking site Twitter.

The report claimed that Spurs are willing to let their star defender go this summer after contact talks between the parties have hit a snag.

Alderweireld has been offered a £110,000 a week wage package which will make him one of the highest paid players at the club. However, the Belgian is demanding to be handed a deal worth £150,000 a week, and Spurs aren’t keen to grant his wishes.

The Belgian feels that he deserves a contract comparable to that of Virgil van Dijk, who is on £180,000 a week at Liverpool.
