Ajax boss Ten Hag responds to reported interest in Tottenham defender Alderweireld

Ajax are not currently interested in signing Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham despite recent speculation, says manager Erik Ten Hag.

The 31-year-old began his playing career in Amsterdam and has recently been linked in Dutch media reports with a return to the Eredivisie, with PSV also said to be keen on a move for the Belgium international.

However Ten Hag, speaking after Ajax's 3-1 victory over FC Twente on Thursday, said that while the club still has close connections to Alderweireld through director of football Marc Overmars, there is no chance of a transfer this month.
