Alderweireld contract update offers hope to Man Utd

The Tottenham defender, who has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, admits he is no closer to penning fresh terms in north London

Toby Alderweireld admits he is no closer to signing a new contract at Tottenham, with that revelation likely to have Manchester United believing that they can still strike a deal.

The Belgium international is set to see his current agreement in north London expire at the end of the season.

Spurs have the option to take up a 12-month extension, but activating that clause will also trigger a £25 million ($33m) buyout option for the 29-year-old’s many suitors.
