Mauricio Pochettino: Toby Alderweireld's Contract Option to Be Activated

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed the club will trigger a clause in Toby Alderweireld's contract to extend his deal—but it means he'll be available for £25 million next summer.

Alderweireld's contract is due to expire in June but will be extended to the summer of 2020, which could leave the club open to losing their star for significantly less than his actual value, per Sky Sports' Declan Olley.

The 29-year-old has started in all but four of Tottenham's 28 matches this season and has been a steady presence while Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth have each endured spells out with injury.
