Tottenham chasing Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld

Tottenham are chasing Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld.

The People says the Belgium international is anxious to move away from the Champions League finalists in search of regular first-team football.

And the defender has been recommended to Mauricio Pochettino by his scouts as Tottenham's new boss seeks to revamp his squad.

Alderweireld, 25, can be used at either right-back or as a centre-half, but it is in the middle of Spurs' defence where he has been earmarked to play.
