Another departure today as we've just announced that Toby Alderweireld has been sold, moving to a club in Qatar.
An absolutely magnificent defender at his peak, I don't think I've seen a better defensive partnership at Spurs than when Jan and Toby were together the first 2-3 years that he was here. He's still a great defender but injuries and age have affected him the part few years and he's not quite the player he was, so I think that like Lamela, it's a good time for him to move on.
There's a young defender we've been heavily linked with that I REALLY hope we're going to sign, a deal possibly imminent, but I'm not going to mention him in case I jinx it If we get him though, it carries on the summer theme of letting long time players leave and replacing them with young players with big potential.
