Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that the club are set to take up their option to extend Toby Alderweireld's contract by a year.
The defender's deal was due to expire at the end of the 2018/19 season, but Spurs always retained the ability to extend this by a further year, which they have now done. However, the activation of this clause comes with a clause of its own, as it makes it possible for Alderweireld to leave the club for as little as £25m.
The 29-year-old centre back was heavily linked to Manchester United over the summer, but was eventually kept in north London, and has made 24 appearances for the Lilywhites across competitions this term.
