Tottenham could agree deal with Andersen, Pochettino identifies Alderweireld replacement

According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur could agree a £25m deal with Sampdoria for Joachim Andersen, with manager Mauricio Pochettino identifying a potential replacement for Toby Alderweireld.

The Belgian international’s contract expires next summer, and Spurs have made little progress in getting the centre-back to put pen to paper on an extension. As a result, Andersen may only be signed if Alderweireld leaves.

It appears Andersen is looking for a way out of Sampdoria too and wants to move on in January. The Sun say the 22-year-old will not sign a new deal with the Serie A outfit, meaning they could look to cash in on him whenever possible.
