Spurs move to beat Liverpool for Ajax pair Eriksen, Alderweireld

Tottenham are launching a double raid for Ajax stars Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld. The Mirror says the Spurs move threatens to hijack Liverpool's interest in the duo. The Reds have been long-time favourites to sign two of Europe's most gifted young players whose contracts expire next summer.

Both have turned down a string of proposed transfers this summer to wait for the right Premier League club - until now believed to be Liverpool.

But while Liverpool have been distracted by the furore surrounding Luis Suarez, Spurs have made their move.
