Toby Alderweireld says he wants Roberto Martinez to continue coaching him next season at either Belgium or Tottenham and admits he can 'only say great things about him' with boss among front-runners to replace Jose Mourinho

Toby Alderweireld has joked that he'd be happy for Roberto Martinez to stay as his manager next season - but doesn't mind if it's with Spurs or Belgium.

Alderweireld was asked ahead of Belgium's Euro 2021 warm-up against Croatia on Sunday about the prospects of his international boss taking over at his club with Martinez among the favourites to succeed Jose Mourinho.

'I can only say great things about him. The worst scenario would be that he doesn’t go to Tottenham or be at the national team. I just want him to be one of the two,' said 32-year-old Alderweireld.
