Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has seen new contract talks stall.

The Daily Mail says discussions over an extension are underway for the 28-year-old centre-half but it is understood no agreement is in sight.

The lines of communication between both parties remains open and there remains a willingness from player and club to reach an agreement.

However, as it stands, it remains unclear when discussions will recommence.

Alderweireld's pending new deal will again raise questions over the club's rigid pay structure.

Manchester City are long term admirers of Alderweireld and would be able to offer the 28-year-old significantly more.

The centre-half has two years remaining on his existing contract, with an option for a further 12 months.
