Alderweireld: Mourinho a factor but I never considered leaving Tottenham

The Belgium international defender has ended the uncertainty surrounding his future by committing to a new contract through to the summer of 2023

Toby Alderweireld claims to have never considered a move away from Tottenham, but admits the arrival of Jose Mourinho contributed towards his decision to end the uncertainty surrounding his future and commit to a new contract.

The Belgium international defender has agreed fresh terms which will keep him in north London until 2023.

It appeared at one stage as though he was destined to drop into the free agent pool, with the end of Mauricio Pochettino’s reign delivering stalemate in extension talks.
